Enter their names. It is not until the interview stage do you do something or in your case nothing for them to get the K2. Make sure they understand it will be years before they can get to the US if they don't come with mom.

She will most likely need her degree evaluated. Here's one that is often recommended on here to do the evaluation. https://applications.wes.org/degree-equivalency-tool/ Might want to get a jump on it so when the time comes she can easily pass it on at the interview.

Wow, that would make such a mess. Maybe at that point the couple should just use common law marriage to immigrate on. Sheesh so messed up.

Talk about weird

Wow I did not even think to look at that. Mike here it is I looked it up because it was so weird. They accept common law marriages so this seems strange. https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1081&top=14

Thanks, Captain Ewok will come along and hopefully he can figure it out.

Thanks, for posting here. Hopefully you can get that screenshot loaded.

Keep emailing them. Use catchy words like Urgent K2 Ageing out. Also I know your case is not at the Consulate yet but email them too with Urgent K2 ageing out and ask for an expedite. They may be able to talk to NVC and request the files.

That is exactly what you needed to do, as that is what you have to follow. So how many more years do you have to go?

Just to add what ever is in your divorce agreement you do have to pay but it is not because the I-864 it is because your wife knows what she is doing and your lawyers suck.

That is not how it works. Sadly the lawyers are telling you what you want to hear. Lets go with your own examples. If she is given 1 billion then she sure is not below the poverty line so the I-864 would give her nothing she is over the poverty line no if's ands or buts about it. Read your actual divorce agreement. We know her lawyer got some wording in there for the 250K plus a monthly support. But you need to actually really understand what that wording is. Yes some divorce courts will use the I864 as a guideline to set support. You yourself just posted the part that the lawyers are feeding you. You are not understanding the part that she must be below the poverty line to start with. Your example that if Bill Gates had married an immigrant he would still have to pay according to the I864 even if she had a 1billion payout, why would he be paying her a cent after that payout, she sure would not be under the poverty guidelines? For a 1 person household with the poverty guidelines posted above is just over 12k a year and that is based on 2023. You've been overpaying according to your own lawyers.

You really need the exact wording in your divorce agreement. Do not listen to whatever the lawyer is saying without actually having that agreement in your hands to read. They can say just about anything as they will still be billing you. Get out your court order agreement and read that.

I completely forgot about this. Another great option.

Send an Email with a catchy subject line with the word Urgent. DV's do have a timeline before they don't issue them. So get on it.

They are human and can hit the wrong button. I got an RFE update long after I was done with everything. And Congratulations!

I wish there was a hug reaction but I'll send you this virtual hug 🤗. I really don't think you need a lawyer. Of course a lawyer wants you to retain them. That is how they make money. Just do what will make you feel the most confident and comfortable.

No such thing as a 90 day rule. The issue is when you plan to get married AND adjust status. The adjusting status when you know before hand is where the fraud comes in. If you to plan to get married real quick in the US on the next visit. Then your fiancé heads back up to Canada and plan your wedding if you're having one. As soon as you have that marriage certificate you can start the I-130 and your fiancé waits out the process in Canada. Nothing illegal with this method.

I do not know if their 10 weeks is accurate. I have seen many members encourage ppl to get married State side to avoid this delay. If you're seeing places saying up to 6 months I would not doubt it. Send a letter it sure can't hurt. If there is a way to get married in the US with a JoP do it. Then have the wedding in Canada if that was planned already.

That is one of the downsides to getting married in Ontario. From what I have seen here in the past there is no expedite for immigration purposes.

~~Moved to Working and Traveling, from Bringing Family Of USC - as the OP's parents have aos and the topic is about SSN and AP~~

Most of the threads I have seen on here where the marriage questions come in, is usually when ROC and divorce happens so soon after approval or there were other red flags in the history. Being you filed ROC with the waiver your case is already more upfront. Nothing sneaky you're trying to get by them. Bring the lawyer if the fee won't hurt you and it gives you peace of mind.
