US Immigration from Canada

In July of 2024, I filed an I-130 for my son to move to the US. We just got an approval for the I-130 and the case has been sent to the NVC for processing. He lives in Canada with my ex-wife.

One of the things to submit is the I-864 (AoS). I am married with my wife here in the US. My confusion is about which I-864 to file AND what supporting documents to share. Here is our situation:

On my own, I make well over the required income. My wife and I both work and we file our taxes jointly. The question is, do I file I-864EZ or I-864? It seems that the EZ form will work for me, but then then does my wife also need to file an I-864A, since we jointly file our taxes? And what documents should we submit? I have IRS return transcripts for 3 years, and I also have my and my wife's W2s for the last year. Do we submit the I864 and I864A along with only one year's IRS transcript or do we also submit our 2024 tax return (1040) with the W2s for both me and her? The confusion is about transcripts vs tax return and whether W2s and 1099s are to be submitted or not. I am happy to submit all of them, but not sure if giving too much information can result in the app being denied or delayed.

Any help as to what form(s) to submit as Affidavit of Support and what documents to submit with them is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

I, as a US citizen, petitioned for my my parents I-130. No issues or RFI's along the way and they successfully crossed the border together with their I-130 Visas on August 29, 2025. No issues during processing at the border, were told welcome to the U.S., imported their car, etc. Both got their passports stamped with the I-551 with the date they crossed (i.e., their temporary green card for 1 year while they await their physical card). I paid their immigrant fee before they crossed.

Both my parents also received their SSN's in the mail at their U.S. address earlier this week.

I have been routinely checking their Case #'s (associated with the fee payment) online using the USCIS Case Statuses site. My mother's status showed "card ordered to be produced" on 9/6/2025; and then progressed to "we mailed your card" on 9/11/2025.

My father's case number however still shows no update, just that the fee was paid in early August. Today however, we received a I-797C notice in the mail at his U.S. address for a finger printing appointment at his local USCIS office (appointment a week and a half from now). I assume I shouldn't be worried since everything at the border went fine? And they both got their SSN's in the mail? I assume after this appointment his physical Green Card ordering/mailing will also happen? He got finger printed at the consulate and everything already months ago as part of the interview...everything was fine. I also had to do this process when i went through my K1 process but it's just odd my mom didn't have to so now I'm just wondering what is going on....why.

Has anyone else had this happen where one parent received a I-797C post crossing for finger prints done, while the other parent just has it sent/mailed?

Hey all! Actively filling out our form now!

Just a few questions as I really get into the weeds of this thing.

I've only had two addresses for the past five years, and I remember all the details about them. But my lady has had many addresses when she moved around a lot, and is having difficulty remembering exactly where she went and for how long. Is that a deal breaker if addresses are missing or inaccurate, or not a critical detail? What about timing of those addresses? She's trying to get the most accurate info she can for me. She has lived in the same place for about three years now, once she got settled in.

Another detail she is having trouble finding is the date of birth of her mom. I assume that is a critical detail, so I'm putting a priority on finding that.

Hello all,

I am a CR1 with an expired green card but have the 48 month extension letter.

I also have Nexus/global entry as I am a Canadian citizen. When I got my car and my green card expiration date was still valid. My question is can I still use my global entry/nexus with the extension letter?

My wife recently had her I-751 ROC interview which was combined with her N-400 naturalization interview. Happy to say that she easily passed them both and we are now awaiting an oath ceremony date. About a week after the interview, she receives official notification in the mail (an I-797 NOA letter) saying that her ROC is approved and that a new green card will be sent. The letter also specifically states that she should not travel outside the country at this time because she may have difficulty getting back in. Does anyone know why this is the case? She still has possession of her expired two-year GC and the four-year extension letter that has about a year and a half left on it. So, is that four-year extension letter now suddenly no-good? Thanks in advance for any enlightenment on this.
