  1. Did you interview in Montreal? If so, expect to wait at least 6-8 weeks after reception of your documents. Anything post-interview goes really slowly in Montreal.
  2. You are welcome - Enough to know they are not pieces of furniture needing to fit together, so moving them is not as easy. If you think that staying apart is what is best for your family, that is ok, you know them best. My husband and myself have to be separated regularly, for different reasons, but we are always so happy to reunite. I wish the same to your family. Be it that you spend the weekend at the cabin together, or everyday, different things work for different folks.
  3. Since it is more than you two being married, I would have made sure that everyone would get to meet and spend time with everyone before moving together, but it seems that you have already made it to the visa phase, while skipping that part. It seems backward to move half of the family, if it is not going to be possible to live all together; as @Ontarkie stated, whatever adjustments are required will need more than 90 days anyway. You and your partner probably know your kids best, so work out a plan together? Is your home large enough for everyone, if so, might has well prepare the nest for the new blended family, no? Best of luck to you and your family.
  4. How much time have you all spent together in person?
  5. It is not compulsory, but she will then have her French documents in her maiden name, as I said. Some do not care, some are worried about the name discrepancy. A few benefits of having a carnet de famille, if you want to look into it, but that can be done later if you ever want too.
  6. Married name might bring other complications since her French (flag shows France, sorry if I am mistaken) documents will stay in her name, with the possibility of yours being added on, after going through marriage recognition with the French consulate.
  7. As an immigrant, you have a LOT to lose coming on a K1. I know it would not have been acceptable to me, and I moved less than 500 miles away!
  8. Is today before October 22? If so, print the proof of delivery and enjoy the wait until the approval.
  9. I suggest you meet in person first. I remember your previous posts and I think it's not your first virtual relationship. As much as there can be virtual chemistry, some things, you will only know/see/observe/feel in person. Try to spend as much time together as possible.
  10. My local library offers access to virtual classes and in person discussion group. You might want to ask yours to see if they have similar resources. Best of luck!
  11. If it was work in Canada, she should be able to look up her T4s in her Service Canada Account. I know I can look up mines under my tax information. That would be a reminder of all jobs she worked. Better dates might be available under Employment Insurance, but I haven't had a Record of Employment (ROE) in a long while, so not sure about that. https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/my-account.html
  12. Of note, if you are planning to enter by land from Tijuana, the CRBA would be required, but not necessarily the passport. See: https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-724?language=en_US Still very valuable to get a passport as soon as feasible though.
  13. Anything submitted after the interview in Montreal usually brings a delay of a minimum of 6-8 weeks. Historically, that is how it goes.
  14. Same, I am not a clean freak... The "problem" is that one of my cats think she's too good to cover her 💩 Yes, indoor is totally safer, unless they have an enclosure. I am sure you will find something that works for you.
  15. Yes, little Devon Rex sisters! Yeah, 3 weeks is about the most I can do, no matter what I use. I find that it works a bit better with more litter in the box (a good 3-4 inches). Husband scoops in the morning, I scoop late afternoon, and then again before going to bed. They seriously poop like tigers, I don't know how they can create their own weight in waste every day lol Every couple of days, I top it up with a bit more litter. Do you still have chickens? Could the cats use their enclosure as a catio (and do their things outside sometimes)?
  16. I have been crazy busy with work, and then... some personal stuff. I am not sure my heart can handle more grief
  17. English is my third language, so whatever
  18. @Ontarkie What is your main problem with the litter? Is it that the volume of litter does not last long enough (scooping it out and all), or that the odours are not well controlled? Here, both cats insist on using the same box and no matter what, I need to top it up eventually, and then change the whole thing when it is not "fresh" anymore. The little beasts tonight 🥰
  19. The good thing is that for such a short period, if they don't get their visas, it is possible to hire a nanny for support and assistance. Is your employer providing you with some leave also? Grand-parents can then grandparent later, when they are able to come.
  20. For the reasons you have listed, among others, it is not uncommon for the American citizen to move back to the US before their spouse.
  21. I know of at least one exception to the bolded part: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/transit/without-visa/china-transit-eligibility.html
  22. What exact steps have you done since you posted a similar question back in March? Your wife has been out of status for so long, you really have to get on top of it. Get it done this week, for the love of her.
  23. Use your driver's license/State ID and SSN card. Read the i-9 instructions for possible combination. better not to show it anywhere - in my experience, it is better to keep your immigration process to yourself, without ever pretending to be a citizen - just state that you are a Permanent Resident. Show only what is required, when necessary. Less is usually better.
  24. As others have told you, there is no VAWA dispute. If you have evidence of fraudulent activity, you can follow the instructions at the bottom of this page: VisaJourney.com recommends that if any member or user knows directly of someone involved in fraudulent or illegal activity, that they report such activity directly to the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement. You can contact ICE via email at Immigration.Reply@dhs.gov or you can telephone ICE at 1-866-347-2423
  25. Acrobat free works fine for most... What's not working now?
