  1. The topic itself is political. It was moved here by a mod.
  2. Yup. I fully expect to get censured/cancelled by writing that. But, it's the truth, as ugly as it is. Best wishes to you in your journey. Ours is over and we had nothing but luck along the way. Being from a wealthy, white country helped immensely, and we realize that not everyone is so lucky. I am a proud US citizen and I did not vote for the shameful current administration.
  3. Many (MANY) of the people here on VJ voted for this. We reap what we sow....
  4. Immigrant intent was established with the IR application. Changing the visa category is not likely to convince the consulate otherwise.
  5. They have clear immigrant intent....
  6. This will require falsifying his intention, as F-1 is nonimmigrant. I would stay away from anything dodgy, given your family's history.
  7. They can, but they need a plan in place to pay for the immigrant's health care and all other expenses, because public benefits will not be available to the immigrant.
  8. I was more confused about your rude reply to one of the most senior, well-respected and knowledgable members of VJ. He knows what he is talking about, you should listen to him.
  9. Health care in the US is so expensive that it can lead to bankruptcies, loss of houses and other assets. And the public charge inadmissibility is something consular officers are required to consider when evaluating eligibility for immigrant visas.
  10. YOU can of course move back and work in the US at any time. What you are proposing is to bring your wife over as an immigrant, and as the petitioner, there are domicile requirements. Montreal is notoriously more strict about this than consulates in other countries. If you don't have a set timeline or a concrete job offer, consular processing via submitting an I-130 to USCIS is probably the best route to go. Make sure you are up to date on filing your federal US taxes.
  11. That program has always been rife with fraud, on par with asylum and U visas.
  12. Yup. And the "overstay is forgiven for immediate relatives of USCs" should no longer be an expectation.
  13. The I-864 comes later in the process, but you will want to have a plan in place for how you are going to support an immigrant who may not be able to work for up to one year.
  14. What do you mean "refused status for immigration visa." Has the interview happened?
