US Immigration from Canada

I was given a time and date for my interview in Montreal, and I tried to reschedule it as I was unable to attend. I emailed the Consulate in Montreal to a email I was provided when I called the office (montreal-iv-dv-@state.gov). I sent the email twice with no reply, and as my appointment was for this morning (Feb 4, 2025) I have missed it.

What are my next steps?

Reasons for requesting a different appointment time are that I was going to be away on a already planned and paid for vacation in Mexico, and that I want to make sure that both my wife and I are scheduled at the same time so we only need to make 1 trip from Vancouver to Montreal.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Son is applying for citizenship based on marriage to natural born USC.

What did y'all use to demonstrate 3 years of living together?

Seems like a lot of printing to include 3 years of bank and credit card statements, 3 years of lease, etc.. How did y'all organize your evidence?

Thanks

In 2011 My mother filed an I-130 on my behalf as the unmarried child of an lpr. When she began the petition she listed my address as hers as we were living together at the time. We received a notice in 2013 that the petition had been approved but I was not eligible to file AOS and the file was being sent to NVC for consular processing. In 2017 the approved visa was received. An interview was finally available in 2019 however by that time my mother no longer met the requirements for the affidavit of support and abandoned the application. So in part 4 of my current AOS (which my USC husband and I are filing concurrently with the I-130) do I answer yes or no to the question 1- "have you ever applied for an immigrant visa at a U.S. Embassy or consulate abroad?" My mother applied for me and we did not make it to the next stage. 2-"Have you ever applied for permanent residence WHILE in the United States?". The original petition had the U.S. address I was living at on it. Thank you for persevering with this wordy question and thank you in advance for any input.

Hi,

My son has been married since April 2021 to a USC. He received conditional residency on May 25 2022. They applied jointly for ROC in March of 2024 and they are waiting.

Is he eligible apply for citizenship and if so by which date? TIA

Hi everyone! Want to ask about preparing the packet.

1. Do I need a table of contents page?
2. I see some people are writing a cover letter is this necessary?

3. Planning on sending at least 20 to 30 photos. Let me know if that s a lot. Do I need to include photos from the wedding or everything after the wedding up till present?

Apart from that, this is what I am including:

• Bank statements since Aug 23 because this is when she got her first job in the US. This also shows mortgage payments going out every month from transfers from our individual accounts.
• Drivers Licenses with same address
• Home owner insurance with both names
• Car insurance with both names
• Shared Health insurance dental vision (some are from my employer, some from her employers)
• Utility bill with both names (GAS/Electric)
• Joint credit card with both names (the statement only shows my name so planning on sending a photocopy of the cards with same number)
• 1 Joint Tax return and one married filing separately because first one was when she not yet a green card holder
• Beneficiary documents from both of us where we have listed each other as beneficiaries on retirement accounts
• Pictures of bdays, family visits to in-laws where we had a belated anniversary party with both of our families, her family at our house, My family at her house in her country, Christmas pics with extended family etc.
• Flights together/Trips (will also have pics from some of these)
• EZPass account
• Triple AAA membership
• The check we are sending with the packet for payment is coming from our joint account with both of our names

I feel like we are at a point where we are stressing and overthinking this, but we ve had such a bad experience, even getting the CR1. They had sent us a card with a typo and we had to go through the whole I-90 process and finally got the correct card but now it s time to file this sigh
