US Immigration from Canada

Hello. I am a Canadian green card holder and my wife is a Canadian applying for her GC through me. She went through the I-130 process, staying in Canada during the application.

We have received the DOCUMENTARILY QUALIFIED status from NVC and the next steps are apparently to wait to schedule an interview with the Montreal Consulate. This was the email update we received in February:

Quote

The National Visa Center (NVC) received all of the fees, forms, and documents that are required prior to attending an immigrant visa interview at a U.S. Embassy/Consulate General overseas.

NVC will work with the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in MONTREAL, CAN to schedule an interview appointment for you. Once we have confirmed an interview date, we will send a notice to you, your petitioner and attorney (if applicable).

Please do NOT make any travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment until you have received an immigrant visa from the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General.

The U.S. Embassy/Consulate General may require additional documentation at the time of the interview. Please visit https://nvc.state.gov/prep for information about immigrant visa interviews.

Has anyone reached this stage recently as a Canadian and seen any movement of their case? How long did it take?

Our lawyer estimated 3-6 months, but obviously it has been a bit longer. Just seeing if others have a similar situation or if our documents have fallen off someone's desk.

Thank you all!

While we are on the process of applying for the K-1 visa right now, one of my co workers told me that I could just fly to the US, get married, then aply for the K-3 visa, she said thats what she did when she was in the states but I feel like her info is wrong? Because if you were able to just do that, then there wouldnt really be a whole process to it, I want to apply for the K-3 visa so when we submit the application I can stay in the US (or that was my understanding of it, or am I thinking of a different visa?) while for the K-1 visa I would have to wait for it to be approved before I can move to the US and we would get 90 days to marry. We honestly just want to be together as soon as we can and the 7 months - 17 months wait for the K-1 visa sounds too long and too stressful, if we do choose to go down the K-1 visa route hopefully it wont take too long since I am from Canada and a Canadian CItizen

Hi all!

My HR department just flagged to me that my visa in my passport shows that it expires in January even though it was only issued in August. I don't have a green card yet so I'm scared that I won't be able to continue working as my work is asking for more documentation.

Anyone have any ideas??

Me and my fiance went to a photobooth called blababooth when I visited him, I wanted to know if it would be alright for me to provide them the link aswell as the code as one of my proofs, because blababooth keeps a record of the date it was take aswell as the video process of you getting the photos, it can be shared with just giving them the code but I wanted to know if it was ok to do so?

Hello, I was wondering if I can bring both me and my fiances paystub during my interview, or would I only need to bring my fiances (sponsor) paystubs?
