Yes, they should tell why they want to visit ( tourism) . If your dad has a job it means he has a strong root to go back to India. Shouldn’t be any problem. File DS-160. Lot of videos available online about the process. 

Thanks so much 🙂 whatabout my mom ? She has always been a stay at home mom how to show her proof of funds? Can she show my dad's bank account details? 

Hi all 

My parents want to apply for US visitors visa from India. My dad is employed but my mom is a housewife she is dependent on my dad. Is it possible to show funds in my dad's account for my mom's visa ? 

Is there anyone who has experience with parents applying for US visitors visa from India?

That depends on the country where you got married.  Please look up the reciprocity schedule for the location where you got married/administration issuing the certificate.

You are right. Thank you 

Hi all 

Appreciate your advice on it. 

Is it fine if we print out computer generated certified official marriage certificate and take that to interview ?

I was planning on just taking it to the interview, my current one has already been DQ'd so didn't want to update incase it wasn't mentioned at the interview 

Thanks Derek 

Even my spouse changed his job in September and the income is almost same just 1000 dollars up so i would just take updated i1864 with the old one and proof of current employment since we have been already dqed with 2023 w2s , tax transcripts ..

Thank you, I've updated my I864 and will take it along with the copy of my contract confirming the US salary once I move there, I've also since sold my house so will take the updated proof of funds.

Hi did you also uploaded the updated i1864 to ceac ? Or you straight away bringing the print out to interview?

Wait until you have an interview date, and then update by uploading a new one.

Thanks so much for your reply I already got my interview date and registered..

But should i upload a new i1864ez as there is no other changes other than his current job change and the income is also same as of last job. We already uploaded 2023 tax forms , 2023 W2s. Should i need to redo i1864ez or just bring his current employment paystubs straight to interview.

Hi all your advice is greatly appreciated on this. My spouse changed his job in the month of September after we got dqed. His current annual income information is almost same as of last i1864ez we filled out , we never had joint sponsor before and now with his new job too we dont need one. 

So should we fill out a new i1864ez ? And bring that to interview along with paystubs from his current job ?

After moving you need to file this form: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/forms/nr73.html
asking CRA to determine your residency status.  When you get the determination, you can provide it to your Canadian employer with it (you might be EI or OAS exempt, for example).  

 

However, before moving, or making any decision, I would consult with a fiscal accountant.   

 

 

Thanks I will consult with an accountant to get more clarity.

Well they can contract you out and then you do something that way. I don't know how that part works but that was something other members have done.

Oh no they will treat you as a non resident to squeeze every last cent they can out of you. Especially when you sell that house. 

Thanks for letting me know and for giving such valuable information 🙂

CRA will go by the date you cross the border to endorse the visa. That is the date you will mark on your exit taxes. 

So that means there is no way other than filing non resident taxes and continue working for Canadian employer...

Wont we be a factual resident then instead of non resident if we still have some ties in Canada. 

5 hours ago, Rieda said:

Ofc, you need to inform the CRA when you actually sever ties with Canada, like quitting your job and selling your house.

What if we are keeping job and our house in Canada. And later come back to Canada then sever ties and finally move out ? 

Hi all 

Need your precious advice and opinions to this question. Can we work for a Canadian employer from USA and get paid in CAD? When do we have to inform CRA ? 

Is it the date we entered USA on IV but still have a job in Canada ? Or is it the date we actually left our job and completely cut all the ties like quit job , sell the house etc?

 oh, good. Hoping, I get in for the Dec interview.

I doubt if June DQs after 10th would be covered next batch coz they last time covered March13th April 10th and this time they covered April11th to May 10th so probably next will be May11th to June10th.. 

God knows if they follow this pattern or not coz nothing can be predicted right now..

@Vicnic June 2023 or 2024, were you DQ?

 

  I was DQ June 18, 2024 and waiting for IL. Hopefully, it will come before the end of the year.

 

It seems like Montreal is only sending out IL for November (April 15th DQ). That's 7 months between DQ to interview.

They covered and sent out letters for April 11th to May 10th DQ gyz... and the interviews people got are in November for these DQs..

Good news for all of you May 2023 filers who have your petitions at Potomac Service Center. They are currently processing May 14,2023 and earlier I-130's. After emailing President Biden, VP Harris and the CIS Ombudsman, I got an email back from Kimberley Coleman-Bearden, Chief USCIS Contact Center stating this. 

 

 

So will cconsulate start sending interview letters?

So in another thread, this is what someone posted when I suggested that Montreal is taking long to schedule CR1 appointments because they are clearing family preference and employment categories.

 

 “Official policy of the US State Department is that CR1/IR1 visas are to be prioritized (tier 1), and directs embassies to not do what you describe.  If the Montreal Embassy is doing that, they are violating official US government policy.

 

I would advise the original poster to reach out to their congressman (US senator or house rep), and have them inquire about the case.  A bunch of us did that at the Seoul Embassy, when they suddenly decided to stop scheduling CR1/IR1 interviews.  After they were contacted by several congressmen, they started rapidly scheduling CR1/IR1 interviews again.  But getting your congressmen involved may be the best hope to force the embassy officials and/or NVC to behave in accountable manner.”

 

If anyone reaches out to their senator, here’s screenshots that you can use as proof that they’ve been processing family preferences and employment category faster than immediate relatives. 
 

 

 

 

Thanks so much for letting us know ...

Does anyone know what is happening with consulates why they are not sending out interview letters? The Consulate in Canada has completely stopped giving interview letters after March 12 Dq people.

Is this same case for other countries as well? 

Anybody know???????

Snooping through other posters doing consular processing, the embassy was giving out interview letters for those who were DQ September 2023. It seems like they're backed up and it's taking around a year. We're currently in the same boat where my spouse's interview is being routed to a busy embassy so we don't have high hopes for getting an interview by this year. 

Those are the people who got skipped in Sept-Nov DQ list and didnt got their interview letters with others.

Hi - We are May 7 2023 PD in the Philippines and still waiting for an interview date.  Is there anyone else who is still waiting for an interview from May?  It is for a spouse visa. 

Seems like everyone disappeared/approve.

Whats the DQ date .. ?

That is kinda my thought too …. Keep hoping and praying Montreal speeds up- last year when we applied it was three months now it’s like 10

hubby and I are really struggling long distance now ( due to several factors  that have been arising with our living situations) it’s hard to maintain two homes !!

I understand you dear .. i am going through the same situation... 

Every day i am in stress , dont feel like doing anything , whenever i see my other couple friends enjoying i am full in tears 😭  i miss my spouse .. and its getting extremely hard .. to wait this long .. 4 months to mark we got Dqed and no sign of interview ..

I already had to get two …. It’s a punch every time we need to get these due to their inefficiency and  backlog …. 

You just only need to get a new one for your current country of residence. The PCC from previous country you lived in is valid for infinite time unless you go back to that country again before your interview.

My process is taking so long, I had to get a new criminal record check because I think it will expire before my interview date.

I think i also have to get new PCC
