  1. Montreal is extremely strict on domicile. You will want to read and research how to satisfy this requirement to avoid pitfalls (like a denial). I suggest reading on the Canada forum here on VJ.
  2. You absolutely did ask about obtaining a B (tourist) visa. Not applicable for B visas, AFAIK.
  3. OP, if people are not giving you the type of feedback you seek, it is because you are not explaining your situation fully or clearly. I don't see you getting a waiver for a B visa. But, why not just apply and attend the interview and see if they say that a waiver is available? That is all you can do.
  4. A felony is a felony. I don't see a B visa ever being approved with that criminal history.
  5. Subject to the tax consequences and the employer approving of the arrangement of course.
  6. You have zero chance of ever coming back to the United States.
  7. Why have a GC if you seem to have multiple episodes of spending many years outside the US?
  8. Does your visa itself say you’re subject to the two year rule? I agree with Olduser, a lawyer consultation is warranted here. Also @appleblossom may know.
  9. You ask about the pros and cons of K-1 vs CR/IR-1….. @Crazy Cat has a great comparison, which I’m sure he’d be happy to post for you.
  10. Exactly. Your father has no immigration status, correct?
  11. Then he is not eligible to sponsor you via the I-134.
  12. Becoming engaged prior to meeting is not something that will lend credibility to your relationship. In fact, it would behoove you to have as much time spent in person prior to filing any type of petition, particularly a K-1 for a country like Russia.
  13. There is a premium processing option for that visa class? There really is not sponsorship for F-1. You need to show that you have adequate funds to pay for your education.
  14. Oh, apologies! I thought you meant August 2023. Right, so you're well within normal processing time at 4 months in.
  15. What is your field office? That is way longer than most. Estimates for our field office, for example, is currently 5.5 months.
  16. Expect scrutiny with trying to bring over yet another immigrant, especially if they are from a high-fraud country.
  17. Make sure she is okay with not being able to work or travel for up to 8-12 months. Adjustment of status is not fast.
  18. It doesn’t matter at all, for the purpose of U.S. immigration.
  19. She will have to marry him and once she’s here with a GC, she can petition him as spouse of LPR. Will take many years.
  20. Doesn’t matter. Someone is adjusting from a nonimmigrant visa, rather than being petitioned. So- the trade off to waiting out the queue overseas is the extra expenses.
