My husband and I are both living in Canada with our two kids and about to submit our affidavit of support. Our lawyer insists we have to say I m living in the USA at my husband s interview but says I don t have to actually live there - just use my parent s address. But we refuse to lie. So we assumed I will have to move there with the kids before his interview.

Chat Gpt says we can instead just show that we have intent to reestablish domicile after his visa is approved and move there after with the evidence we have:

-He has a letter from his US employer saying they will hire him directly instead of through an intermediary once he has his visa.

-I have a US bank account (from before I came to Canada) that we ve been moving money over into,

-my voter registration is still active.

- I intend to get my drivers license and moving quotes, and hopefully have a rental house lined up before the interview.

Our lawyer insists if we say I m still in Canada that they will deny his visa. Is that true? Do I have to move ahead with the kids, or do we have enough evidence for the interview to show that we intend on moving after he gets his visa? We don t want to blow it and get a denial

Hi all,

I'm seeking recommendations for a lawyer in NYC.

My husband will be able to apply for citizenship in the next couple months (3 yr rule) and we want to consult a lawyer to review his case before doing so - to confirm there are no red flags for the current admin and way things are being handled, specifically at the Manhattan office.

We also want the lawyer to attend the 751/400 combo interview as an extra layer of protection.

-We have meticulously assembled all docs and forms ourselves so they don't need to do that part

-Just want to ask a handful of questions/review immigration history + attend the combo interview when the time comes

-AOS was done with a top rated lawyer that we found on https://www.ailalawyer.com/ and they did a terrible job, so I'm seeking personal recommendations this time

-i751 was done by us alone

-Money is not an object, within reason. This has been a decades long journey and we're willing to pay for the peace of mind.

I'm not looking for:

-to be told we don't need one and can do it ourselves

-an online service like boundless

Thanks very much.

We have received Our NOA1 and NOA2. The embassy has received the approval from NVC and already sent the instruction letter. We just completed the DS-160. Now at the payment page and it is asking for a "invoice number". No where do I see a invoice number. Where do I get this number?
