Any Ideas?

[Dylan'sWife 2]

Hello,

Our Visa Journey has been a long one...over a year, I will accredit it to some mistakes on my husbands part, bureaucracy and the UPS. Our I-129 has yet to be approved and hasn't been touched since Nov.

We hadn't addressed it because we are perusing our CR-1. After sending my DS-230 in, my husband called them last Friday and was told that they sent our petition back the the state department. I can only imagine we are in what people called Administrative Processing.

I can't imagine why this would be as my husband used to have a job with the DND so he already had security clearance, they have my police certificate ( as per the Montreal Consulate requirements ) showing I do not have any criminal convictions. I have never overstayed a visit or been deported.

The only two things can imagine is that my husband owes some back state and federal tax....or that since we have been in the process so long we were able to conceive and have a child, so my DS-230 indicated that I will be bringing our daughter to the US- where as our original documents did not.

Here's the thing, we simply can not wait the 90-120 days, then the 4-7 months for my interview in Montreal because

Our 4 month old daughter ( who has US citizenship but is with me in Canada ) has been diagnosed with a VERY serious neurological disorder that if untreated or treated without success can lead to mental retardation ( moderate to server ) and to cerebral palsy. Each state offers what is known as Early Intervention Therapy free of charge to children under three in efforts to help them reach their full potential.

Our child needs this help and deserves it. Although I would be willing to let our daughter stay in the US with my husband while I wait it out out here, it's really not a option as he needs to work to provide for us and to maintain health insurgence.

What should we do?

My assumption would be that from a healthcare perspective you would be better off in Canada.

Hi there,

I am new to all of this immigration stuff myself, so I don't have any answers in that respect....sorry. I did want to say that I am sorry that you have a little sick one and my prayers go out to you and your family, that you will be able to come to the States and she will get well very very soon! As a nurse in this country and having visited Victoria Hospital in Winipeg, waiting for six hours for care (albeit very good and very nice nurses), I would have to disagree with boiler (whoever you may be) in that, you may have to pay alot more here but being together and getting the top rate care, you belong here in the States, I just hope your immigration journey is quick! Huggz and prayers, Georgie XxX

Why don't you get your US senator involved so they can make an inquiry and first find out if you are in AP and if there is anyway they can push it along? (Go to their online website, download and fill out the privacy form, request an inquiry and fax to their office. Then call to follow up and get the name/direct phone number and email address of the person assigned to your case. Stay on top of them). Other than that, there's nothing you can do. There is no waiver to move it through and since your husband can take your daughter to the US, there isn't even a basis for an "argument" if you had the possibility of making one.

Well you are under administrative processing and it has to complete before you can get any visa ...there is only one waiver ..humanitarian short term waiver which is given by the CBP in extremly urgent cases such are death of close relatives etc emergency surgery its genrally done on the spot.

you will not qualify for that its intended for defferent purpose ..yes you can send your daughter if she requires medical attention back in us they might clear her first.

call your senator and seek his help

Thank you ALL for you help and well wishes for our child.

Our daughter has US citizenship via her father so she does not require a visa, but she is only 6 months old.

We hate the thought of having to put her in daycare because of all the complications with her illness but if Idon't get my visa soon we may not have a choice.

Wouldn't they send a letter saying we are in AP? Or even be aware themselves? They also approved the I-129f after the I-130 was recalled. My husband had a meeting with a immigration officer last week- and they are saying the USCIS has no record of requesting our file back- nor do they have a record of receiving it- even though it showed as being touched by them on the USCIS website.

Does any of this make sense to you? I'm not sure what to do or think anymore.
