Timeline says OP entered the US in 2013. 5 year rule applies, barring no lapses in residency.

I'm assuming you're filing under the 5 year rule. You may want to fill out your timeline: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=338109 Keep the application simple and direct. No need to give a life story.

Unfortunately, a manufacturer doesn't have to issue a compliance letter if they don't want to. They make different cars to different specification to meet the market they are made for. It's well known and well documented that Canadian cars don't always meet the requirements and it's often easier for a person to sell the vehicle in the market it was made for and buy one where you live, unless it's a collectable item. Even then, it falls under a different import category all together. It's likely perceived as a large administrative burden to the manufacturer when they have other things to worry about. Good luck, regardless.

I'm having a hard time digesting this. You both have children and you're speaking about marriage and you've never brought your children together?!?! Yet, you speak about how selfish it is not to consider the children and how important it is to make things OK between the kids...do you ACTUALLY care what the kids think or have you already decided you're getting married and the kids will just have to deal with it? If you do care, someone needs to get on a plane, children in tow, and visit the other party, their children at home. You cannot get married without the kids haven't even having a chance to meet! I'd want to see how parenting goes with both parties involved and work through some guaranteed disagreements there long before it was permanent. And yes, I am a parent.

The trees get trimmed yearly. The oak in the back is probably 80 years old and massive. The canopy has been trimmed quite high up, but you can’t really stop it’s spread with a tree that old.

You don't live in the US yet, so AR-11 isn't applicable. Just update at the interview.

Irrespective of where you are in any process, if you move, you are required to file form AR-11 - change of address, within 10 days of moving. So yes, submit the AR-11 form.

I agree with @OldUser. ALWAYS check and double check your paperwork. The lawyers are never as negatively impacted as the beneficiary when it comes to a screw up so they have a pretty nonchalant attitude about it, meanwhile it's your whole life. You've paid the lawyer a fee to file on your behalf. They screwed up. They need to get it fixed and NOT for more money.

Is your soon to be ex-wife oppositional to signing something stating she understands and agrees that the child will live with you and receive US permanent residency rights? I suspect, based on what you've said, that you'd be fine. But if push comes to shove, her signing a lawyer notarized declaration could serve as back up. My ex and I don't have a formal, court ordered custody agreement. We wrote an informal parenting agreement which could be filed in court if need be. He wrote a letter stating he knew and supported Kid1 and Kid2 obtaining US PR, had it lawyer notarized and sealed and the Consulate accepted it with our informal parenting agreement.

You might change your mind when you're old and grey and have to pay for health care. I always say never turn down an exit plan, even if you don't think you'll ever exercise it. TX requires 72 hours between obtaining the marriage license and marrying. Just letting you know so you time it well with all of the holidays, as you've noted.

We have an acorn problem. This extreme heat from this summer seems to have sent the front yard oaks into overdrive. My neighbor sent a text, jokingly asking if we could please ask our trees to stop throwing acorns at their house. It's insane! Hopefully they don't pelt the kids too bad when they come trick or treating on Tuesday! On another note, completed Kid1's homecoming mum. This was because the original plan of boyfriend's mom making fell by the wayside when the kids broke up. Then Kid1's bestie was supposed to make one and flaked. So, mom to the rescue. Texas has some weird traditions and this one definitely falls into that category.

It doesn't mean a Myanmar National can't travel. It means it takes more planning. You never want to close the door to any opportunities. Also, it doesn't cost anything to file. Right now, I realize filing more forms to do anything seems like more headache than it's worth, but you might feel differently when AP is granted. Paying the fee and submitting some more documents in a few months time so you can take a little getaway might be quite appealing while you hurry up and wait for everything else immigration related.

I'd double check what you guys submitted before. It sounds like they are assuming, for whatever reason, that your assets are being used to qualify. It may even be a simple box that was ticked by accident on a form. Your MIL's I-864A definitely needs to be uploaded though.

They didn't ask him to. It's a generic form. It says IF, not that you must. First word in bold letters. It then goes on to explain how the form would be applied if your assets were being used to qualify you.

AI is only as good as those who train it. Additionally, do you trust AI to search the system and if it finds someone with the exact same name as you, to do the correct things to ensure the associated checks are really you and not the other person? If that other person has a criminal record, do you want that accidentally assigned to you by AI, ruining any chances of lawful entry into the US? It's a dangerous path. These are government agencies and USCIS is, in large part, is funded by the fees collected by petitions. If you want $$$$ poured into tech, those fees are going to go up exponentially. The other agencies will tax your partner more on their income tax. The money has to come from somewhere. People get impatient and forget immigration is a privilege, not a right. The US doesn't HAVE to let you in. If they want to take their sweet time making a decision, that's their prerogative, as unfortunate and cruel as it sounds.

Geology with a minor in Skool of Life. Nothing comes for free and without a bit of struggle. It's character building.

Oh my word...this is like first principles of designing an experiment - test it to make sure it works! I work for an oilfield services company and teach borehole imaging. Basically, if you're familiar with ultrasound technology, that's one of the measurements we use to "see" the subsurface geology, albeit at different frequencies to medical imaging. We also use resistivity and nuclear measurements to create images. We use petrophysical log curves to aid in our interpretation. It's the curves that tend to cause the biggest issues for colorblind people because they are typically red, green blue, yellow and black. We have had colorblind students who used a greyscale palette to successfully interpret their images (typically, the palettes are scaled from white to black with yellow and orange tones in between).

1. No. It says to fill out only if you are a household family member, which you are not. 3. Your MIL is a household member with your FIL. DoS wants to ensure that all household members are covered and that the income is sufficient, irrespective of whether your FIL has sufficient income. Did hubs file his taxes as married, filing separately? I know you stated that you haven't filed US taxes (as expected), but he has to have filed as married unless you weren't yet married in the previous tax year.

I don't think you're completely off the mark here. There appears to be a good number of people who seem to use Canada and the ease of obtaining Canadian PR and citizenship as a gateway to the US.

Timelines are extended because spousal visas are not the only visas that Montreal has to contend with. Family reunification visas were prioritized after covid, which has left a massive backlog of employment visas that still hasn't been cleared. People waiting on employment interviews have been DQ'd since 2022 and are just starting to see interviews. The VJ guys waiting on employment visas haven't seen interviews issued since May. The fiscal year starts Oct. 1 and runs until Sept. 30th of the following year. When the fiscal new year begins, visas with limited availability numbers (employment, family preference, etc) suddenly become available and have to be addressed since they are a limited time offer. Spousal visas are essentially unlimited; other visa types are not. Montreal also seems to issue a fairly high number of 221g and DS-5535's that all require attention. Combine that with the various holidays and yes, the Consulate seems slow considerably in Q4.

You said flying back to the US. Have they already entered the US on their I-551's? You might as well go pay the fee now while you're thinking about it.

The numbers posted when you log into your account are estimated times, completely subject to change. We're all saying don't hold your breath too long for them to be 100% correct. Sometimes things take longer, sometimes things are spot on with those estimates, sometimes they take less time. They are estimates, after all. If you haven't learned already, there is absolutely nothing expeditious about immigration. Patience is a must. Distractions are a must.

Jovi is perpetuating Yara's insecurities. He really does need help. That level of obsession with strippers is unhealthy. Yara needs it too because she is a beautiful girl but those self esteem issues are just going to translate to Mylah. I think Kalani and Asuelo are on the best path, too. They are both immature for their ages and rushed in because they had Kennedy and Oliver. Johan - that guy...Danielle needs to move back to America. I couldn't believe when Johan said "oh my friend married an American and she bought him a brand new car and this and that". Gimme a break. Danielle is not your bank account. Just really old school, completely skewed, patriarchal type attitude. Shekinah and Sarper are ridiculous. She's immature as anything and they are both jealous as anything. Nikki and Justin aren't much different. Brendan and Mary - way to be smart and get her knocked up straight out of the gate. Could have anticipated that. Kimberly and TJ - she's freaking psycho! Don't get me wrong, CJ's brother is an immature ###, too, but she's off the rails. And who doesn't research the marriage ceremony if you're getting married in another country?!?! She's all upset because she has no clue...com'mon - you have some responsibility here, too!

I think colorblindness is more common than people realize. My one bestie's husband is colorblind and I have a friend who somehow managed to get a chemical engineering degree despite being colorblind. I said to him "how in the he!! did you do titrations in chem?!" "A really good lab partner!" HA! We worked together and the guys during our training class couldn't figure out why I'd tell him which curve was what color during instruction. We were asked about it on the bus on the way back to our housing complex. Student: "Why do you always tell him what colors the curves are" Friend: "I'm colorblind" Me: "If I tell him which one is red and which one is magenta, he knows and remembers." Student: "Really?!" *contemplates for a second* "What color is grass to you?" Me: "How do you expect him to know the color of grass? Sure, he's been told it's green but he can't see green!" Friend: "She's right. Maybe it's like what you'd see as orange." Interesting conversation but it has stuck with me and I do try to remember to ask if anyone I'm teaching is colorblind because my line of work is fairly dependent in being able to see color.

Anyone watching Last Resort? Why is Jovi so obsessed with strippers? He really does have an issue and Yara has no self esteem. Big Ed is an ### and it's never going to change. Liz needs to accept it and move on. Angela is still annoying but has been a bit better on this series. She really did have the ole Meemaw back up when Yara was left bawling over Jovi's actions.
