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.

Please fill out your timeline: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=483602 You will have to clarify further where you are and what your status is. 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.

The Consulate in Montreal and the Consulate in Mumbai may operate differently. Montreal takes biometrics at the interview, not before. I'd suggest you search for a thread pertaining directly to the Mumbai consulate to get more accurate answers.

Excellent news! If you have any intention of gaining US citizenship in the future, start a spreadsheet with your travels in and out of the US. You need to include it in your application. It will lessen the PTSD of the process you've been through! Good luck with your move!

That sounds dodgy! Sorry you're stuck in this Groundhog Day nightmare!

That's crazy! I'd be so mad...revoke his Aus visa!

Not really. What was the gist of the email replies? Still in AP? Were you given an 221g or sent the DS-5535 and perhaps missed it?

I'd definitely send an inquiry at this point, just to make sure nothing was missed.

All petitions go through some degree of post interview administrative processing. If your name is common, if you have a lot of address changes, if you've been to Timbuktu and back, basically if the wind blew whatever way, that can impact AP. As I'm sure you've worked out, Montreal is a SLOOOOOW consulate. A week to 10 days is pretty standard for standard AP clearance. Also, don't panic if your CEAC status changes to "refused" before "issued". That's normal, too.
