No i assume you are looking to adjust status. Best to start the process asap

By all means contact the Consulate, I assume nothing has been done since the visa was issued.

how will she sponsor the 3 of them?

There is only one process and it is easier and quicker of you file for the child, file that I 130. Canada is not quick, 18 months or so. Personally I would look into the legal side of things and ensuring the Mother can not change her mind. That would be a Canadian Family Law issue.

No, marrying and filing an I 130 would be better

Montreal does not play when it comes to showing US domicile

Why?

Regular short visits should not be an issue, it is when you push it, then it can be problematic

Just to clarify this is someone you have yet to meet?

One of those Welcome to America situations

Filing on line seems to cause problems, did you put your US address down as you main point of contact?

Guardianship has nothing to do with immigration, maybe counter productive from a visitor status perspective but then offhand I can not think how the situation would arise. No question I can think of. If you want him to visit then by all means apply and see. Obviously the Airlines are used to dealing with people who have issues, my Mother visited and needed to use a wheelchair. Ohh just a thought not sure how his condition would impact Travel Insurance, good idea to check.

How old is he Do you mean adoption, guardianship does nothing. A lot of Eastern European Countries can use the VWP.

The Insurance Industry never struck me as being particularly logical, more like a roller coaster and I am not here to defend it. I had dealings with the US before coming here but corporate not personal insurance. I was surprised at how controlled everything is, regulated at the State level, this is not normal and it never occurred to me that this would be the case. So each State is different, sort of like dealing withe different Countries, and in CA rates had to be approved and justified using historical date but the cost of reinsurance could not be included, which is weird. I assume as long as the Insurance Companies were making money they went along with things, as I mentioned things started unravelling, the gov set up the FAIR plan, more catastrophic events, and the Insurance Commissioner is a political appointee so the market became more and more distorted. It also encouraged? people to build in areas where logically you would not if the full cost of the insurance risk was taken into account, sort of like Florida, well some people can, would but if you have a mortgage, need Insurance as apart of that and the full cost was taken into account, perhaps you would not or build very differently. There has been a sort of similar situation in the UK with new housing developments being built on historical wetlands and guess what they flood, duh. I remember going down the M4 a lot and past an area that was always wet in the winter and wondered why on earth they subsequently developed the area, Anyway this is on a much bigger scale, and with the continuing effects of distorting the market I am not sure what the answer is, the State can try and put pressure on the Insurance Companies but if they cant see how they will ever make any money the logical response is just to pull out as many have done and more will do, which will of course just put pressure on those that remain. I suppose there is a solution but not quick or cheap or likely to happen

Possibly

Rule of thumb is to stay out for twice as long as you were in

14k deductible ouch i could go on, by Profession Insurance is my background but even I find it boring

She did well to get a B Holiday allowance is more generous than the US but not that generous

It takes more than 5 months to get an interview at some Consulates. The issues surrounding a K1 are long and many and just seem to get worse.

Ugh Anyway issues I see Insurance seems a lot of uninsured properties and I do not know of those who are covered will have cover for the additional costs of covering current regulations, seems most properties were built before 1990 and are a long way off current code. Then there is the issue that apparently they are trying to restrict new builds and will these be classified as new builds As was mentioned above the process is very slow, could take years before a brick is laid. I know where I am you want to pull a permit for say a new roof and they check everything else and make you fix things that have nothing to do with a roof. So even part damaged properties could have issues. They could of course ban rebuilding in some areas or make it practically impossible, and then who would insure them? Also if you just want out how much will the site be worth? Seems they have restricted Insurers from not renewing in certain areas for a year, well that just delays the inevitable. Not sure what happens if a Company just pulls out of CA. Then there is FAIR coverage with is Gov mandated and basically Companies that are still in CA have to take a share of the risk of those policies so that just encourages Companies to reduce their portfolio, even if they are writing low risk areas they will get stuck with FAIR coverage.

I assume you know why you did it?
