US Immigration from Canada

Hello I am new to this website so I am a little nervous but here is my past two weeks in a nutshell.

I had my interview on the 26th of February at the Montreal Consulate and I was given a 221g to submit a new passport.

I submitted my new passport on the 2nd of March and it got to the consulate on the 4th.

On the ceac website it says that my case has been refused since the 26th of February.

On Monday March the 9th my case has been updated to still say refused.

I have emailed the Montreal consulate for clarification on what to do next.

I'm very open to see if anyone would like to share their advice on what this means or if I should panic.

So, my k1 has been approved as of Feb 26th 2020, the interview went well. The lady said "looks like everything is in order. Congratulations" and with that I left the consulate. And then worries started hitting me.

Was I supposed to stick around after the interview to sign anything? They scanned my finger prints and did the oath and all that. I haven't heard anything since.

The https://ais.usvisa-info site says my current status is "appointment". And the https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/ just says my number is invalid but I've heard a lot of people have that issue.

Do I just wait? She said it'd take about 3 weeks. Anxiety inducing with the unknown.

Hi Forum Members,

I am very new to this forum and would like to know the various stages of processing the K1 visa. I am a Canadian PR holder and my fianc has recently applied for K1 visa for me.

I currently have B2 Visitor s Visa for USA and I have even visited my fianc recently in California, does applying for K1 affect my B2 visa, can I still go and visit him on the Visitor s visa meanwhile the K1 is being processed ?

Regards

Hello everyone,

I am new to the VisaJourney community. My partner (US citizen) and I (Canadian Citizen) are considering going to K1 route as we plan to get me to Fl, USA early 2022 (e.g. February or March), do a private ceremony (for the sake of the 90 days) and then have more time once we are settled to plan a bigger wedding/event shortly after.

1) We were wondering, to roughly be able to travel there and wed by Feb/March 2022, when should we file our I-129F application?

2) The I-129F form requests for the details of both the petitioner's and beneficiary's parents (Parent 1 & 2). If one of our parents is separated and estranged, do we still need to include them - or is it acceptable to just list one parent (basically complete only Parent 1 and not Parent 2) ?

3) Does anyone know if the Toronto Consulate office (my local office) holds the interview? or will I have to anticipate travelling to Montreal?

These are our initial questions right now, as we are still in the preliminary stages of beginning this journey together.

We thank everyone in advance for your help!

Regards,

Melissa

Hi,

I was wondering if there is any specific advantage in the K-1 application process for my fiance if we were having a traditional engagement ceremony outside the US? He is currently a permanent resident of Canada and if there is any advantage we would like to have the engagement in Canada. Let me know if anyone has had a similar experience or know any information that is helpful.

Thanks
