~~Moved to Tourist Visas, from Bringing FAmily of PR- As the Op is asking about medical treatment.~~

Thank you for the update. Congratulations on the approval

Sadly there is no way to bring her sister faster, unless one of her parent's petition and that is not fast either. What I have seen recommended before is petitioning for just one of the parents. That parent gets set up and then petitions the daughter. Once the daughter's case is close that parent than files for their spouse. This way timing the two so they can arrive together and the daughter is not left alone.

~~Moved to Waivers and Administrative Processing, from Site Discussion - as the OP is asking about a vaccine waiver.~~

If you're doing the K1 for mom, than you have follow to join options for the k2.

Hmm, weird. As many Canadians have adjusted status without an I-94. They usually mark land crossing such and such date at this POE.

I really do not think that pulling the I130 will help. They've already seen it and the record of it will not go away. They already know the USC spouse could just apply for AOS once stateside. So pulling it will not stop the presumption of immigrant intent. If you have money to blow go ahead and try again. Not sure how filling out the forms again so soon will show anything different. She is still the mother and spouse of a USC. So many ppl like you have found out the hard way, that sometimes it is next to impossible to get s tourist visa to the US even when the USC lives abroad too with no plans to move to the US. Senators and congressmen cannot help you.

The trauma they went through the tired them out

~~Moved to Working and Traveling, from Bringing Family of USC- as the OP's parents are now permanent residents and need to travel.~~

You did the right thing applying for the SSN in her maiden name. It's much easier and less hassle. Now you apply for her AOS in her married name. WHen the EAD or GC come in you go back to SS and do the name change. It really is not hard to change the name with AOS. No extra paper work, after Naturalization it's actually more work. You have to run all around changing her ID, SSC, medical, Insurance and phone, DL, and any other things she obtained while living her life. All that would that would have been issued in her married name right off the bat by doing it at the time to AOS I have never changed my last night in Canada as there is no need. I left everything as is, except my bank account and that only took my marriage certificate. Everything else is still in my previous marriage's name. Heck some countries will not allow name changes anyway, so those ppl just carry around the marriage certificates in those situation when traveling.

~~Moved to Emigrating Outside the US, from Off Topic~~

Yes definitely

I'm so sorry, my father had many falls and they kept sending him home too. Mid August a DR in the ER ordered a CT scan but it wasn't scheduled until Sept 27. So many doctors all saying different things. I started checking his BP and it was the reason of the falls nut it was a symptom of a bigger issue they wouldn't dig to find out. Took him completely off the PB meds since it kept dropping to 80/60 ish. Still did not help. It look like he was having a seizure, but it was fainting spells due to low PB. Every time the ambulance came they sent him home with nothing more to do. Then in Sept he spikes a fever and run more tests and see he's sepsis and has compartmental pneumonia and finally did a CT scan on him seeing this huge mass in his chest. It's not in his lungs eating away at everything, it is squishing and cutting off circulation to everything. The first one was scheduled too far out and they couldn't wait. ( no Sherlock) So two rounds of Covid and TB tests kept him in isolation (another delay) leading up to ^ weeks in delays They already new he had a mass and pneumonia but every time he got a new doctor they would reorder these dang stupid test and that would lock him down again until the test would come back clear. He finally got 2 rounds of radiation but sadly we have no idea what is actually in his check. As two biopsies have found no cancer markers. They wanted to send him to another town to do ultrasound guided biopsy (they did this already but my guess is that doctor was now off so they have to ship him out. I can guaranty they would have played the same games with putting him in isolation again and delaying things to make sure he got too sick for further treatments. I can really see the lack of proper care in Canada now, after seeing it with my own eyes twice. They are really doing the bare minimum to make it look like they are trying to help. One of the first doctors mention removing the mass and the left lung since he can live without it. Well guess what the other doctors say no, it can't be done. It's total bull. Today my sister gets a call from the nurse and it sounds like they are in the process of sending him home. My father has a will and that is not going to stop the ####### my one sister is going to pull. My inlaws really did not need a will. They probably have some payment plan they can barely afford to pay to this lawyer. They have no real assets, the house is a liability and they have no money in the bank. Both of their boys would want nothing they leave behind.

Like always I am late to the show K1's are usually able to file early as they get married first then become a resident. So they would have been married longer than the resident date on their GC. Also like you said ppl who married than filed for AOS would also qualify.

Oh yes, for sure. If you go by the so called experts you need so much square footage per person and well in this ouse we ran out long ago. I would say most ppl need a will. Pll who don't have two cents to scratch together who live in what might as well be a homesless camps do not. There is no reason to have one. They have nothing to pass down, nothing at all. Luckily for us the city passed something from allowing Tiny homes in ppl's yard

Been super busy with baking and getting things sorted here. I don't know if I'll end up back in Canada for the third time this years or go after Christmas. My in-laws went and had a will made so things won't go to probate. Umm Ok but you guys don't have anything, the house they live in should be condemned, neither of their kids would want it heck they would probably let the city deal with it and deny it being their parents. So they wasted 1200 bucks they don't really have. This is thanks to a lawyer that goes to the senior center to offer his services. More like poaching victims. Now this realtor who also poaches the senior center mentioned to them that they could get 80-120k for their home. This guy has not seen the condition of this place. The roof has caved in more then half the building, the floor has rotted in the back, the kitchen, hallway and the bathroom. The heat and air broke long ago. They have no gas as with ho roof it cost too much to heat and they couldn't afford it. It's been shut off, and meter removed. They have no water because a busted line made it so they can't afford water, they do still have power by the grace of God only. Now they think they can sell the house and move in these so called senior buildings. They have no savings can barely make it as is. Bad news is they can't afford this and now I'm 100% positive they will think they can move in with us. Can I move away now please

If you don't have to plan on family being there. Pick the easiest and fastest place to get married. There's enough time spent waiting in this process. So skip some wait time when you can.

I'm going to skip a bunch of stuff previously mentioned. As your granddaughter is not living with her USC father and in his physical and legal custody inside the US when she entered she will not automatically gain citizenship through him. She must wait until she turns 18 and apply on her own. Minors cannot apply they must wait until 18.

~~Moved to General Immigration Discussion, from IR1/CR1 P&P- the VIsa process is over for this couple and they are asking about a mix up with entry after the 2 yr mark.~~

I think you have the stomach of a vulture. I've opened cans that were barely a year old and the stuff inside was horrible. It looked ok, smelled ok, but tasted bad. I made a cake once and the cake mix was only a few months past its best by date. That was a complete failure. So cakes do not last at all. Now chocolate i have some that I bought last year in Canada and they are still good as rain. Same thing with ketchup chips

~~Moved to Moving Here and Your New Life, from IR1/CR1 P&P- as the OP's spouse has entered the US and they are wondering about name changes.~~

I would leave it as is. Update your married name on passport and whatever else you want to update. Heck when I got married in Canada (1st marriage). I never even updated my SIN card. When I divorced years later I still used that last name. When we went for the K1 everything was in that last name not my maiden name. After arriving to the US and getting married I changed my name all only my US documents. I saw no reason at all to change my Canadian stuff. Your situation is a bit different as you married before the move. But not really that big of a deal. Let Canada use the married name and not switch the middle name. I would try with the passport and your marriage certificate you might get lucky and they add the new middle name.

The OP does not want to do a name change from the courts. She wants her birth certificate to stay the same as it is now. She wants to assume her married name, her province will allow the married name on her new documents just not the placement of her maiden name as a middle name. Yes it will be easier to assume her married name and get that started with her name change on the passport. That way the visa and GC will not have to be changed later and save a bunch of money. Also nothing in Canada's system is fast getting a court date can take months and years to happen depending on where she lives. Second ordering a new birth certificate with the name change will take months. Then applying for the new passport. If the OP cannot amend the new name on the marriage certificate, I wouldn't worry about it. Most government forms and ID will often not even list the middle names, never mind two of them.

Put the new married name. That's assuming the new name.

I would just assume your new married last name in Canada. Do not bother with all the legal name changes. Once you get your new passport in Canada the consulate will use the name on the passport for your visa and you green card. Less expensive to update the name in Canada then trying to change the last name once in the US. Another thing that was mentioned about changing the name at naturalization. Again this is a legal name change and will change your birth certificate. Assuming a married name is the easiest way to go.
