US Immigration from Belgium

Hi everyone,

Hope all is well!

My friend is 33 years old, unmarried, living in Canada and would like to join their family who live in Nevada, USA.

Their mother is a US citizen who will be the petitioner. Before the process starts, a lot of questions came up, so I offered to help and ask them here:

- Once their mother sends in the petition, can the adult child still travel back and forth between the US and Canada for family visits while they wait on the decision?

- Should my friend be in Canada once a decision is made on their mother's petition? Or could it be okay to continue filing in the US via the Canadian embassy? (I'm assuming it's best to do it in Canada but they were wondering so I'm passing the Q along)

- What is the current timeline from start to completion? I heard it can take years before a decision is even made on the initial petition from the parent.

- Any tips or shared experiences are welcome!

Thanks so much!

All my best

Has anyone had experience getting an appointment at an expedited agency, with proof of travel? What time do appointments open up in the 2-week time frame?

Is the passport issued the same day? Is it acceptable to apply at a facility far away from you?

Thanks!

Hi,

I moved to the US earlier this month and opened a bank account. I also requested a credit card as it offers more protection against fraud, is useful for online transactions and would allow me to build credit score. It was denied though, as obviously I don t have any credit history. It s a chicken and egg problem really - how can I build a credit score without that?

Hey Guys

Do any of you have a copy of Packet 3 that you got from the US embassy in Brussels? If so, can you share it? Thanks.

All this website has done is given me false hope. It isn t good for me. How do I delete my account?
