Ontarkie

It is usually sole custody or a letter from the other parent. It should be clear that he gives the mother permission to take (child's name DOB) to move to the US to live.

Awe thank you, I wish you the very best.

I can understand knowing if he is the one. I've been there and in June it will be 16 yrs. The caution is more for the consulate, many times they see one meeting and marriage on that same trip as a red flag. It sucks your divorce decree is with Service Ontario. They are slow as molasses in January. Talk things over and look more in the Utah marriage aspect. Since it is online you can be in two different places(just need to meet up before filling the I-130) or in the same place together to use that. Also get on YT and check out how keto/carnivore can work for your inflammation and mental health. It has changed my family's lives.

Yes that seems to be correct. Meeting first and not getting married on the first meeting would be best.

I never had anything else to fill out after the forms were filed. The only thing I need to do was get my certified copy and pay 20 bucks for that.

I forgot about this possibility. Since he did not pull the AOS, she was still able to adjust. I wonder what he said during the interview. ROC is probably not impossible, but go get a few consultations to make sure what steps to take.

She signed the forms but when they reconciled he told her he stopped or pulled the forms. She believed him, the divorce continued.

I'm so sorry to read about your mom and the helpless feelings you are going through. I'm glad you reached out here to us, because even if just one stranger on the internet can give you some hope or confort that may help you get through one more day. Ok here's my two cents. I see a lot of potential to make this work. Since the time it will take for you to get to the point where you have to show proof of income or assets is a long way off. Not to worry about that right now, take care of your mother. I would forget about getting married in Ontario, they are notoriously slow getting the marriage certificates back. That would just add more time to your waiting. Since you have known your fiance for years and just reconnected. Go and visit and get a good feel of it all and then you can get married via Utah marriage it's online. It would be much faster then waiting for Ontario to send you your marriage certificate. If you can visit earlier then get married earlier. Also make sure you two meet after the Utah marriage if you go this route and are not together when you get married. If you get married via Utah marriage while you're together then you can file right away. You are one strong women, do not ever forget that. You can do this.

~~Moved to Effects of Major Family Changes, from ROC- as this is not the typical divorce waiver thread.~~ Mod hat off It sounds like your husband did not pull the divorce petition and lied to you and to the Officer at your AOS interview. It is very important you seek a very good immigration attorney.

No, because they will see that she left long before her GC was processed and delivered.

What a lucky cat to get dump at your place. Congratulation. Ppl do that a lot it is so sad. It is so easy to drop them off at a rescue or list them on a FB group or something like that. Ppl just can't be bothered. My previous neighbours found a scottish terrier in their yard. They took him in and the vet located the son of the previous owner. Poor old lady had passed and he tossed her dog out the door. When the vet called him he told him he didn't want the dog. My neighbour took him in.

~~One post removed for TOS Violation. PLanning to change your mine on a visit is still fraud and against the TOS. No further discussion of this is to continue.~~

Sadly reporting something on the tip line doesn't go very far. You need to submit actual evidence. Get everything together to prove the forgery, send it to the consulate, send it to the fraud unit. I can't remember the actual name and how to get their attention to get it to the right department. @TBoneTX probably can help with that information. Once you send in hard proof that it was all a scam, send them proof of who he is married too and all the proof that marriage is still ongoing. Send everything you can think of to backup everything you know. They move slow so it can take years before anything happens. Talk to a lawyer and see what you need to do to clear that marriage since it is not a legal marriage.

I'm so happy to hear things are moving again. Congratulations. If she doesn't need to the passport for the medical you can go ahead and send it in.

Congratulations

They have them at Walmart now. Petsmart and I didn't check Petco. Yes you must hold onto the stick. Mine licked it a few times then went crunch and the pieces fell off the stick.

We bought the kitties these and they love them.

Ask how many years she was married when she entered the US. She may have been given the 2 yr green card in error. Then all she would need is to send in a correction form to have the 10yr card issued. She has plenty of years as a permanent resident to naturalize under the 5yr rule and can do this even if she leaves her husband. She should talk to a lawyer about custody and divorce. She should do that then when she can talk to an immigration lawyer to help her file Naturalization. But double and triple check how long she was married at the time she entered the US. If she's been married nearly 10yrs sounds like 4-5 yrs before the move, so no way should she have been given the 2yr card unless it was in error.

I made it Montreal Only as we did have members from other countries posting in there. It was causing some confusion. I forgot that some non immigrant visas are still processed in a few other locations in Canada. I should have said Canada. Feel free to jump on in.
