If your aim is for her to continue to work, CR1 is the best and cheapest route. Yes, it will take time, but you can both still travel to visit one another and you can both work from your respective countries. Personally, I find that people coming from western countries that try to adjust status and cannot work have a more difficult time adjusting. Going from being an independent person with a job, driver's license, money, friends to a new country where they become fully dependent on their partner for money, meeting people, rides (many states won't give a driver's license) and without a job is EXTREMELY challenging on the mental health of the beneficiary as well as it puts strain on the relationship. Part of what brought people together can be erased while they wait out the process. Please factor this consideration into your decision with your partner. Being apart and waiting sucks, but if you're preparing for a relationship that should span the rest of your life, this is but a finite blip in time.

2.5" of snow (sorry @TBoneTX - dunno the Pmaths for this one!) here overnight. I've never seen a map of Houston with so many roads closed until this morning, but no time like the present! Hard freeze tonight so tomorrow is likely to prove a proverbial 💩 show after all the melting. I'm thankful I'm not further east as NOLA looked even worse off. I expect this back home and people are more prepared, but here...not so much.

Maybe this sounds harsh, but what is more important? Your partner or your job? If your job is a priority over your life with your partner, you got your greencard under false pretenses to begin with.

I know it's not funny...but it looks like Christmas lights... My fingers are crossed that this is just CEAC bad IT, that the update just isn't saving properly and they have printed and affixed the visa to your passport!

Since you have multiple threads, I'll reiterate: 1. Has this child's case actually been documentarily qualified? 2. What is the category for the child's case in CEAC? Sounds like they have them classed as a FP category IR cases typically have interviews scheduled for them, not the other way around where you do the scheduling. Additionally, as stated before, Montreal takes weeks to respond. If you sent an inquiry, it's only been about 3 weeks and there has been the New Year and MLK day holiday. Enough time hasn't passed since you sent the inquiry.

Was that child actually documentarily qualified? Typically IR interviews are scheduled for you - you don't schedule them.

Yup, this. My ex and I don't have any court ordered agreements, either. He did sign a letter stating he was fully aware and in full support of the kids emmigrating from Canada to the US on a permanent basis with me and we had a Canadian lawyer notarize it. A copy went on each of our immigrant files with the Consulate. If the Canadian parent signs the DS-3053, you can still get the passport. Kids' dad signed and we had no issues.

Why did the baby enter as an IR2 if the CRBA was an option?

@Adam RS I've been on this forum for a long time and I have never seen this before. Definitely keep everyone posted.

Your options are limited - you can go back to school and get a degree that would allow you to obtain a TN or H1B of your own or look at an investor visa, as mentioned previously.

Where is your father from? I'm guessing his passport is not Canadian because Canadians don't apply for tourist visas in advance. Additionally, your father would apply for his own visa. It's entirely up to the intending visitor to obtain their own admittance documents.

Yes, but she will have to verify that his income will sufficiently cover his current household size and the 4 dependents. I'm making no judgements as far as whether or not her father does, but it's a consideration versus when it was assumed it was just her husband that required financial sponsorship.

Hubs receives restricted stock options so there's always something vesting at certain times so it makes it stupidly complicated. We'll have a senior headed to uni in the fall this year, too, so we drop it like it's hot. We can muddle through, but it comes down to what is our time worth and what is our expertise.

Amen, sista...amen! I pay an accountant to do ours now. It's just not worth the headache!

Is the joint sponsor aware of the financial responsibility of 3 (soon to be 4) people?

@MalloryCat you guys may want to find a tax expert who can help with the German and US returns, at least for this year because it is complicated. @Gabriel5454 please fill out your timeline https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=398581

Bring an updated I-864 with the accompanying information (transcripts or 1099 etc) to the interview.

If you call, you just have to essentially ask Emma over and over and over to speak to an agent. You could try sending in inquiry through the MyUSCIS online portal, too.

The OP is in her third trimester. Changing doctors in the third trimester isn't ideal, in addition to US healthcare coverage challenges. On top of that, the OP has no immediate (husband) supports if something does happen and either she or the baby end up having an extended stay in the hospital. Additionally, the baby would need her Canadian certificate of citizenship to enter Canada as a Canadian and not a visitor since her dad and brother aren't even through the NVC stage and waiting for an interview. The CoC takes a long time, too. It makes more sense to have the baby in Canada and expedite the I-130.

Please fill out your timeline: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=483322 You said your husband and child's I-130's are approved, correct? So, the cases still have to go to NVC and you still have to do the DS-260 and the AOS, correct? You will give birth before the DS-260's are approved and interviews are issued. Montreal is SLOW. Your daughter will be born in Canada. Once she's born: - Get her birth certificate and passport ASAP. - File her I-130 ASAP. Once you have a case number, call USCIS and ask to speak to a Tier 2 agent. Request an expedite on her case and explain that your husband and son are already approved. Hopefully they will expedite. They often will. - Pause the applications for your husband and son at NVC until your daughter's case catches up, then proceed. You are going to have to prove domicile in the US, be it a lease agreement with your brother or you heading to NY before your hubs and getting a place. Montreal is sticky about it.
