    Be prepared for that reality. It’s not a small mistake really.

    Okay so you have no greencard coming your way. You would have had to enter on the visa and get it endorsed before it expired which it doesn’t seem you have.
  3. apond
    But what does the visa in your passport say? Was it endorsed?

    Thanks! That’s the way we understood it too. Hopefully her renewal will be smooth sailing.
  5. apond
    Exactly this. It’s worth a little road trip to be sure it’s correct.

    Not officially but she’s also not been back in 2.5 years so it’s dual purpose. She’s also concerned cus she used to do passport pictures at her work in Canada and knows how often they have issues so didn’t wanna do pictures here and hope.

    Yeah we have to go on a Friday due to work/school so we will just be having it shipped back to the states. If I wasn’t in school full time we could go sooner but I also just had major surgery so I missed the first two weeks I can’t miss more lol

    Yes. The passport will stay for renewed. And awesome. I just needed reassurance before we drive 5 hours l

    Not sure where to put this one. My spouse is Canadian and got her greencard in Nov 2024. Her Passport is expiring so we are planning to make a run at the border next week to do pictures and the renewal but it won’t be same day. So when reentering the US ( land crossing) she will only have her greencard. I know this shouldn’t be an issue but just need some reassurance.

    I’m in Mass. my wife didn’t have to take a test to get her mass lic. She had to get a driving abstract from Nova Scotia and with that they ‘transferred’ her lic. Each state has different rules and some countries are much easier to get ‘transfer’.

    As per the other topic you posted. Yes you can but he is not eligible to adjust status from that visa so marry away but it does not protect him from anything immigration wise and being in the country illegally.

    We had 16 months virtual before we met and I included exactly zero pieces of evidence of this. No phone logs no emails or chat screenshots etc. that said we had 4 visits of 2or so weeks plus three border town weekend meet ups in before we even filed. The length varied but the time spent together was much more important for proof.

    I concur in reference to the provincial health. My spouse is also Canadian and she lost her provincial health coverage. Her AP even expedite requested took 9 months from filing to receiving.

    ours was 21 months from filing the 485.
  15. apond
    After 832 days since filing the 130 and 630 days since we switched from consular to adjustment and the 130 was approved yesterday and 485 today without an interview.. on my wife’s birthday! It took much longer than we wanted but oh well. We’ve been married 2.5 years so here’s to skipping removing conditions !

    Zero. In person was where we focused our attention.

    Then it will take longer. She’s their step mother so I would think your relationship would last long enough to petition them? Longer one would hope.
  18. apond
    as I told you on the other forum each kid will need a 130.
  19. apond
    Yep I used TD then and still do now. They had no issues adding her.

    My wife is Canadian and I am a UsC. We used to meet every few weeks at a border town for a weekend. In between our days were much like yours as we spent them on video chat nearly 20 hours a day on days I didn’t work. So for us the meeting every few weeks at a border town ( 7 hours for me 6 for her to drive to meet) was important. It allowed us more time together in the real world plus lots of evidence of a relationship. The more time together the better and we had pics in various locations together plus the border crossings. Aside from all that we made each other beneficiary for life insurance, I added her to my lease and as an authorized user on my CC and added her to my bank account. All before she was here and had a SSN.

    Is there a question in that? 130s typically take around a year.
  22. apond
    Ours has more than once. Waiting since aug 2022. It’s happened a few times. Our latest went from 3months to 11 after it disappeared for a day.
  23. apond
    Myprogress is wildly inaccurate. It goes up down zeros out then starts again. We’ve been at this since August 2022 and ours have been at 12 months 1 week taking longer than expected 4 months 1 week taking longer repeat. There’s zero rhyme or reason to it so it’s best to just ignore it.

    I filed 2/22/2023 and we’ve gotten EAD and AP but nothing else. The 130 and 485 are both at NBC. They’ve both gone into ‘active review’ twice in the last month but no status change.
  25. apond
    My spouse received her EAD 5 months post biometrics last year and her AP 9 months post biometrics.
