Do not wait. File as soon as you have all the required and supporting documents. On the I-130, enter the passport number you have now. It's ok to show up at your visa interview (in around a year or so) with a different passport from the one listed on the I-130.

If your father filed the I-130 petitions for you and your sisters only in March 2020, it is unlikely that any of you will be scheduled for visa interview before 2028, regardless of when the I-130 was approved. Check the visa bulletin maybe once a year to get an indication of how many years you may still need to wait -- https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin.html

Do you have evidence that you may retain your current job even after you stop being on TN status and obtain your green card? Maybe a letter from your US employer? If so, your wife may list your current income on the I-864 to meet the financial sponsorship requirement. Note these I-864 instructions that apply to your situation (refer to page 8 of https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-864instr.pdf) -- "If you included the income of the intending immigrant who is your spouse (he or she would be counted in Part 5., Item Number 1.), you must provide evidence that his/her income will continue from the current source after obtaining lawful permanent resident status. He or she does not need to complete Form I-864A unless he or she has accompanying children."

The I-130 may be submitted from anywhere with internet access, regardless of where the petitioner or beneficiary is currently located. The I-485 may only be submitted while the applicant (your husband) is in the US. Once he leaves the US, filing the I-485 will no longer be a legal option for him. There is no significant benefit to submitting the I-485 separately from the I-130 if your intention is for your husband to not return to Canada anytime soon.

Which country?

1. Your grace period in the UK will probably be enough while you wait for your visa interview appointment. London is one of the faster consulates for scheduling, so you likely won't need to wait long. 2. If you want to avoid going through the Removal of Conditions (ROC) process to get your 10-year green card, then yes, delay your US entry until after your 2nd wedding anniversary. But if your priority is to be together sooner, then enter the US asap, receive your 2-year GC, and just prepare for ROC. Note that the visa expiry date will be 6 months (maximum) from the date of your medical. So make sure to schedule your visa medical accordingly, if you want the option to enter the US only after your 2nd wedding anniversary.

*** Moved from DCF forum to IR1/CR1 Process & Procedures -- OP will go through normal processing for a spouse visa, not through DCF *** Yes, you may keep your maiden name in your passport, but if you do, that will be your legal name in the US immediately after you move. The consulate will print your visa with whatever name is on the passport you submit at your visa interview. The name on your spouse visa will be the name on your green card and SSN card in the US, which means it will be the name on your US state ID/driver's license and possibly all your other IDs issued in the US. If you want to use your married name as your legal name in the US, while retaining your maiden name in your passport, you will need to pay $540 to replace your green card after you move to the US. Check the thread below for further discussion on changing your name as a Filipina spouse visa applicant --

*** Moved from IR1/CR1 Progress Reports to What Visa Do I Need -- OP is looking for insights re: CR1 vs AOS route for husband currently in the US *** Ability to work and travel freely are the most significant considerations for me. But of course, the deciding factors in your case would depend on your preferences and circumstances. As for filing the I-485 -- because you are a US citizen and your husband is currently in the US, it would be a legal option for you two to submit the I-130 and I-485 concurrently while he is in the US. Not much point comparing the processing times for CR1 vs AOS, as I-485 processing depends on the USCIS local field office backlog, and USCIS processing estimates for I-485 are notoriously inaccurate.

Is your husband currently in the US? If so, are you both ok with him not being able to work or travel freely outside the US for around 8 months or more?

*** Moved from IR1/CR1 Progress Reports to IR1/CR1 Process & Procedures ***

*** Moved from IR1/CR1 Progress Reports to IR1/CR1 Process & Procedures *** No need to notify USCIS of your change of citizenship. Just list all your citizenships on your DS-260 form. At your visa interview, submit whichever valid passport you want your spouse visa to be affixed to.

*** Moved from IR1/CR1 Process & Procedures to General Immigration-Related Discussion, where topics about address change are discussed *** If you did not change your intended US address from the intended address in your DS-260 form at the time of your interview, then there is no need for you to file an address change with USCIS. If you ever actually change addresses in the future, then you (the immigrant) will need to file AR-11 address change by mail, or create your own USCIS account (not using your petitioner's account) to change address online.

If you mean items 24.a to 24.c of part 6 on the I-864, you must list the total income figures exactly as reported in your 1040 forms for the 3 most recent tax years. Exact figures, whether they are negative or not. Any other number that doesn't match your reported income figures would be misrepresentation.

Will your husband be moving to the UK with you? And are planning to file directly with the consulate? I ask because you posted in the DCF sub-forum. As for your passport, it's not required at the I-130 stage. Do you intend to use your married name in the US soon after you move? If so, you will need to get a new Philippine passport anyway, so might as well correct your place of birth when you renew it.

Put "Unemployed - Retired" under employer name, then "N/A" or "Not Applicable" for the employer address fields.
