    That's what my husband is saying ... but good points that Pushbrk and OldUser made that it's used for other things too, I didn't realize that. We'll look into it. It's only money I guess, what's a few hundred here and there (yikes!).

    Luckily I won't need the EAD this time, I took early retirement (I may work again in the future but it's no rush). What we are thinking right now is that we will stay on the I-485 route, cancel our return to Canada for now and apply for the Advance Parole so that we can make trips home to Canada at some point while the I-485 is pending, since it's a 17 month wait supposedly in Vegas. If anyone sees flaws in that plan please let me know, we are all ears, and very much appreciate all the advice and tips we are getting here. It sucks that applying for advance parole is over $600 now. It was free when I had to request it for work reasons while on the K-3 10 years ago.

    Does anyone know how long Consular processing takes compared to the I-485? (We're coming from Canada).

    Are we supposed to tell them about the spousal immigration application being in progress without being asked when we cross the border? We haven't mentioned it on previous crossings (have crossed border 6 times since first applying), and they haven't asked us. Or just if they ask us?
  12. Technicalglitch
    If we switch to Consular processing, can we continue to visit the USA during the process? That might work better for us with I-485 processing being so slow, although advance parole would work too I guess.
  13. Technicalglitch
    How do we find that out? We are in Las Vegas. The Phoenix office gives 13.5 months processing for 80% of cases. OK, I just checked for the Las Vegas office and it's 17 months, sigh.

    He says the mailing office for submitting is in Arizona, so I guess that indicates the field office? We have nothing else that indicates that.

    I think he thought he had the choice of wanting to do it from the US once the I-130 was approved, I remember being personally uncertain on that point though. We submitted before we bought the house here in the US, although we did that soon after as his understanding of the process was that it was required or very helpful to already have the american domicile on his part.

    How long does the I-485 adjustment of status take? We just worry about leaving our house there vacant for an extended period. Husband's family is all in the US and I have no kids, the rest of my family can come visit me if they miss me, ha!

    Yes, it seems to be a catch-22. I entered legally with no intention of staying permanently until the process is complete, but the process is chugging along while we happen to be here on a visit, we have always visited the US while living in Canada. We didn't realize the process was going to slow down so much when we applied in August of 2023, when it said I-130's were taking 7 months or so at that time.
  18. Technicalglitch
    We are currently inside the US, on an extended visit. We own a house here now so we could stay and do the I-485 from here if that is better, we just weren't planning on it. We're fairly clueless relative to a lot of the applicants, all these I-numbers are a foreign language to us.
  19. Technicalglitch
    Should we submit an I-131 along with the I-485? What is the I-765? (Thanks for the speedy replies, you type very fast! :-D )
  20. Technicalglitch
    I just asked my husband and he says adjustment of status.
  21. Technicalglitch
    Do we have the option of staying here and doing it here? I entered as a visitor on this trip. Is advance parole an option while waiting for an I-485 to be approved? Thanks for the tips you are giving me, it's helpful.
  22. Technicalglitch
    Do you mean that I cannot leave the US at all after I-485 is submitted, or that I can leave but absences need to be less than 6 months? I remember with the K-3 visa I needed advance parole (which I applied for and got as I still did contract work in Canada back then). I know that I can't work in the USA until I get work authorization or green card.
