US Immigration from Canada

Would like to hear people's experiences. Did you get your waiver approved quicker? Any tips on how to speed it up?

Hi everyone!!

My spouse is a USC, we have a I-130 with consular processing which was just approved and we are now dealing with NVC to get DQ. We are hoping to get a CR1 (married just over 1 year)

My question is at what point do we provide updated evidence for bona fide relationship? (i.e. visits since the I130 was filed etc) I know we will need to provide updated evidence when we get to the IR1 stage and file to remove conditions

I have read the .gov sites and nothing says that I am supposed to be uploading this type of evidence to the NVC at this stage (DS-160 and Affidavit of Support)

Our first package was pretty substantial, showing communication of over a decade and just under 10 visits together

Should I just bring updated evidence to the interview in Montreal in case they request it? Or would NVC send an RFE if they want me to upload updated evidence?

I just want to make sure I am not missing something here! Thanks so much for any advice you can provide!

Hello,

My beneficiary submitted packet 3 on Monday to the email they specified in the packet, with the instructions of the subject line's specific formatting (CASE_NUMBER - DS-160 CEAC # BARCODE). We received an auto-reply that didn't acknowledge anything about submitting packet 3, so I'm a bit worried that we had done it wrong. I'm wondering if anyone has had the same experience? How long did it take for packet 4 to arrive?

Email starts out as follows:
"Thank you for your inquiry to the Immigrant Visa Unit at U.S. Consulate General Montreal.
Please refer to the Immigrant Visa Navigator for information regarding visa applications and services offered by the U.S. Consulate General in Montreal."

The email continues with information on how to find guides/help and website links.

Hey Visa Journey!

I m in the process of filing for my mom to get her Green Card, who is Jamaican born but holds Canadian citizenship. For the initial I-130 petition filed I included all of her Canadian Passport information on the forms. With the recent freeze being placed on 75 countries, Jamaica being on that list is she still eligible and in the clear to apply for her Green Cardbas a Canadian although she wasn t born in Canada? Much thanks!!

I m a US citizen who submitted an I-130 in October of 2023 online to request my Canadian husband s green card. It was received and still says case is still being processed by USCIS . It appears no progress has been made in almost 2.5 years. Every similar timeline was processed long ago. It s as if our paperwork has been completely forgotten and will never be done. Our lawyer has submitted 2 delay requests and called multiple time with no results. They just say there are delays (even though everyone else gets theirs back in a year. Has anyone else had this and what should we do?
