You can apply from within Canada, I’ve done it.  

Thank you ! 

Hi

i I opened the purolator package and I was expecting a yellow envelope that says DO NOT OPEN but it was just my Canadian passport with the I-551 stamp on it, I thought the border patrol agent when I cross is suppose to stamp it ?

Update: today I received a DS-5535 form. 

So wait they approved you, told you that you’re good to go and you then got a form DS-5535, so the interviewer clearly lied to you. Did they also take your passport during that time that you waited for your visa?

Yep. Refused is different to denied. 

Good to know, I don’t want to freak out if I see refused for some reason haha, they told me I’m tentatively approved at the interview because the system was very slow that day but I’m approved based on interviewer.

19th Jan was only one working day ago. You'll need to be more patient, give it a few days and hopefully it will change to refused/AP/issued (and only when it changes to issued will you get the tracking number).

 

Good luck.  

Thank you so much for your reply. I heard that refused usually doesn’t mean refused, it’s just the way the system works and it eventually sends you the passport with the visa, is that correct? 

Just wondering how long after the interview in Montreal does it take to get your passport and the visa ? I had my interview on January 19th and still nothing updated on the websites, no tracking number yet

The person who collects your document usually scan your  photograph to make a digital copy and return it to you after scanning.

Ah okay! Yeah that’s what they did I think I saw the pre interview person do it before giving it back to me. Thanks! 

If they take your passport, does that automatically mean you’re approved? They told me I’m tentatively approved because the system is slow and he can’t give the 100% at the moment but they took my passport and said it will be mailed back with the visa…

Hi

i have a assault charge from 15 years ago that never went to court, they just gave me and the other person a peace bond that was eventually withdrawn after 12 months. This showed on the police clearance record

is this a reason to be denied a CR1 green card visa? 

Hi

i I had my interview few days ago in Montreal. Everything went well and the officer told me I’m tentatively approved since the system is currently slow he can’t give me full approval until the system tells him otherwise but I am approved. 

He took my passport and said it will be mailed back… but the 2 passport photos I brought with me, they gave them back to me.

is it because they will be using the photo the doctors office took during my medical exam? 
 

Any update on this as to what happened? Did you end up getting the green card and what happened to your picture? I just had my interview and they gave me back my pictures too

Yes, it's ok.  

Thank you so much, gave me peace of mind! Super stressed 

Hi

I have my interview this month in Montreal and my Police Clearance certificate from the Canadian RCMP is about 6 months old now. Is that okay? 
 

also wondering if it would be an issue that I had a peacebond in 2009 showing on it.

Yeah, "Listen to SteveinBoston130".  He's exactly right.  (Doesn't exactly roll of the tongue like "Listen to Pushbrk" but it works)

Haha thanks Pushbrk

You can self sponsor by adding your husband's income on the same I-864 (current annual household income).  You will need to provide proof that the income will continue (husband's employer's remote work/ agreement/ documentation).

This is what I wanted to hear! Thank you so much, I looked at the form and it does say household income, it seems they care more about the household income than my own personal income. I will be going this route, thank you!!

You can use a joint sponsor.

Would that be my only option? I guess I will have to find someone that’s willing to do the joint sponsor with me 

Hi everyone

Im an American citizen sponsoring my Canadian husband. We live in Canada but want to relocate to America with our children. 
 

He’s going to work remotely, his income supports both of us as I’m not working. 
 

Is there a specific form that I should be using when the applicant is financially supporting the petitioner?
 

Anything I should know before filling the I-864 with 0$ as income on my side ( I don’t think he has to file that form) 

Is this going to cause any issues, as me the petitioner, I have no income, but the applicant does? 
 

thank you
