US Immigration from Canada

Sorry, these questions are probably asked to death but i did do a search before asking. This is for the I-129F.

1. We've been together for 5 years and I'm just wondering do I focus on gathering boarding passes, itineraries etc for the past 2 years only? Just because we've done a lot of traveling the first 2 years of dating and not so much the last 3 years. Also, a lot of them in the last 2 years were more like weekend visits...so I have boarding passes of me flying over there (to new york) alone / him flying here (canada) alone. Is this even helpful to have these "solo" boarding passes? It doesn't really prove we spent time together does it?

2. Would it be helpful to include any boarding passes/hotel receipts from before 2 year mark, just to show when we met? Or anything earlier than 2 years will be completely ignored?

3. This is just to confirm that we can send in passport photos (as long as it meets the measurements etc) without having the back dated/signed from place where you got them? I have to take them in Canada, and mail it to my fiance but he's in the middle of a move. If i dont' have to get it stamp dated, that would put me at ease (that we wouldn't have to retake it in case we go over the 30day mark by a day or two).

Thank you everyone in advance :)

I am attending an immigrant visa interview at U.S. Consulate General in Montreal, since February 2020. I would like to know in what month are they working now. My husband has been sick, is there a way they can schedule it asap.

Cordially,

Hey everyone, I am Canadian and looking to find a J1 host for a traineeship for 18 months (obviously given the times, I will likely wait a bit of time to reach out to companies) but I wanted to hear anyone's experience. I'm a bit older and do not work in hospitality, etc. How did you go about finding a host company for your J1? I feel like I will need to draft a good email and send it off to a ton of companies and see if anything lands? I think I'll have to be quite careful about the wording.

Did anyone find a traineeship on their own? Any advice?

Hey guys,

I went to my interview at Montreal consulate in June 2019 for EB2 work based green card. My paperwork was complete but the nice officer told me she would have to send my case to Washington DC and did not know how long it would take for them to process my case. She did not give me any specific reason, as I have extensive travel history to the U.S. with my Canadian passport in the past with no issues and a clear record. I wanted to know if there are any other cases like me here and if they have had any updates since then. One year is a very long time and every time I, my employer, or my senator contact the embassy, we just get a boiler plate response that the case is still in Administrative Processing.

Also my employer has now filed an H-1B petition for me and wants me on board by July 9th. As you know Canadians can with an approved H-1B petition don't need to go to consulate for visa stamping and can get admitted at the border or pre-clearance area of Canadian airports. Do you think I should try this option or just wait until the COVID-19 ban is lifted and my AP is complete? Does being in AP complicate my H-1B admission process considering the fact that H-1B is a dual intent visa? I am just not sure how many more months it might take and I don't want to lose this amazing job opportunity.

Thanks for your comments and advice.

I m in the section of immigration where I need to prove I have current health insurance. As a Canadian, how do I get the information? I m not really sure what they want to see.

thanks
