    And your spouse is a GC holder? So probably still a way to go, I wouldn't worry just yet about getting docs in case they're out of date by the time your PD is current. Best of luck.

    It's all online, the Welcome 'letter' is actually an email. Which family member has petitioned you? The wait will depend on that.

    I’ve never been asked about who paid for my ticket, but in 10+ visits on ESTA I was asked about my job every single time. Three times I even had to pull my website up on my phone to show them.

    You can Google and find an exemplar DS-160 form, I don't recall every question off the top of my head but it will ask about his work etc. And you can also search for info on Global Entry but essentially it's pre-approval for entry in to the US. Myself and my family all have it, means you don't even have to get your passport out usually, I just get 'anything to declare?' and then waived straight through. My daughter's boyfriend got it earlier this year to try to minimise stressful questioning whenever he visits here, and it's worked so far, he's not been questioned since getting it.

    New details. I had the same with my son, we just took his new passport to the interview and we informed the officer the number had changed so he could update the DS-260, wasn't an issue at all. Good luck.

    He can take those things to the interview, but they're not likely to be looked at. The decision is generally made on the details given on his DS-160. He can certainly carry them when he enters the US if he's granted the B2 though. What's his housing situation, does he own his own home? If the B visa is granted, he might want to look at Global Entry. I think he'd still be eligible for it with a refusal on his record (not 100% sure on that) but it would make entry much easier for future visits.

    As long as you apply as soon as she's eligible, there's no way it should take that long. But winters out of the US should be fine anyway, if you spend 3 seasons in the US and only one out of it, then she'll easily meet the continuous residence requirement. Good luck.

    Yes, so exactly the same as spouses, who also get 50% - 18 months out of 3 years. It doesn't matter if it takes 5 years for her to get to the citizenship interview, if she applies under the spousal provision, then that's what she needs to meet the requirement of.
  23. appleblossom
    She needs to meet the criteria at the time of applying, and 'up to the time of naturalization'. So no, she can't go over 18 months out of the country. If she wants to travel more then she'd be better off remaining a LPR and applying for a re-entry permit.

    On your profile, not the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet isn't helpful to anybody that searches the forum, or uses the immigration timelines function, as most of us do. So to help all EB applicants (not just those applying via Montreal), please complete that as well, as the more info we have the better. Click on mine (on the left, where it says 'Timeline') for info on the one I mean. Thanks.
  25. appleblossom
    If memory serves me correctly, they'll be added under your account. But give it a go and see what it says. I actually mean on your profile, that timeline, if you could take 5 mins to do that it would be appreciated. That helps all EB applicants, not just those applying in Canada. Thanks.
  26. appleblossom
    Yes, you must follow the instructions you've been given really carefully - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/MTL-Montreal.html And please fill your timeline in? It 'pays it forwards' and helps others in return, many thanks

    As Boiler said, AP is the biggest wait for any Iranian, whichever consulate they've interviewed at. But now the rules have tightened up (or, to put it another way, the rules that always existed are being enforced to stop 'consulate shopping'), the OP would only be allowed to interview in Turkey if they were either a Turkish citizen or resident there.

  29. appleblossom
    They are not insisting you move your case. They’re just telling you it’s an option. These are standard emails sent to most (all?) applicants.
