Crossing US/CAN border with USC husband, while having B1/B2 visa - potential issues?

Hi all,

I recently got married, and my wife has been living in Canada, in a border city. She needs a B2 visa to enter the US, since she is a citizen of a country that requires a B1/B2 to enter the US. She recently got this visa, so I'm somewhat paranoid at the moment, and don't really want to do anything to get it revoked.

I am a US citizen, recently naturalized this year. I plan on moving in with my wife soon, but not yet (just personal and financial reasons). I have been frequently visiting her, 2-3 days per week mostly on weekends. I am also a citizen of Canada.

Applying for CR-1 is in the plans, but I have not yet done so.

I would like to cross with her into the US from time to time to visit. She doesn't have a car or a license yet, so I would be driving her back and forth, which isn't an issue for me. What are the chances of running into issues with CBP with this plan?

As for me, I have been honest with CBP/CBSA so far. I always tell them that I was in Canada visiting my wife; No, I have not applied for benefits; She lives there and works there. So far this hasn't caused me any issues.

Any insight will be appreciated!

CANADIAN PASSPORT RENEWAL FROM THE USA

I am currently preparing my second renewal application for my Canadian passport. The first time I used FedEx, I ended up paying 90 dollars EXTRA to FedEx Canada once my FedEx envelope reached Montreal. So, in the end, the cost to send it was over 150, as well as the required fee for the renewal.

Could you let me know if anyone else has had this issue using FedEx? I know there is a customs fee but I read that it is minimal if one is charged at all.

And if you have sent your renewal with FedEx successfully, how do you fill out the paperwork for FedEx i.e. do you put an amount that the package is worth? I also think the Customs Form asks for this information as well?

Any help would be so greatly appreciated from a Canadian living in the USA who has renewed their passport.

NATO-2 to Permanent Resident (CR/IR-1)

I am currently a NATO-2 visa holder on assignment in the US with my US Citizen wife. Prior to obtaining my visa, we completed the I-130 submission which is still being adjudicated.

Upon receipt of the I-130 approval, we are considering pressing ahead with the remainder of the Consular Processing (Canada) and establishing my US Permanent Residency while concurrently continuing to serve on the temporary assignment for which I was granted the NATO-2 visa. Remaining a US resident at the conclusion of the assignment will not a concern.

My desire to complete the process while in the US now is due in part to the fact that the domicile requirement for my wife will be a non-issue - usually a challenge for those coming from Canada - given we are currently located in the US. My question - is there any reason this won t work? If for some reason the case goes into AP or is otherwise delayed, would there be any impact on my current visa? If everything goes smoothly, what would be the implications for my current NATO visa, given it is in my official passport (separate from my personal passport)? My intuitions tell me it would simply be cancelled.

Any insights anyone has would be appreciated.

Applying for US passport - 1 legal parent

My spouse immigrated from the Philippines legally, and a few years later so did her child who is a minor.

No green card for the child, and we haven't applied for certificate yet. We thought passport would be best for now.

The father is not listed on the child's foreign (Philippines) birth certificate and has never had any contact.

I am the step parent but not legal since I haven't adopted.

Can we still apply for US passport now? We can provide marriage certificate and my US passport, but we're only listing 1 parent on parental information since it says at parents birth. Is my information necessary or will just confuse everything?

Anyone ever heard of a similar situation?

Hi all your advice is greatly appreciated on this. My spouse changed his job in the month of September after we got dqed. His current annual income information is almost same as of last i1864ez we filled out , we never had joint sponsor before and now with his new job too we dont need one.

So should we fill out a new i1864ez ? And bring that to interview along with paystubs from his current job ?
