[Sorry posted twice by mistake. It won't let me delete.]

My wife booked a 1-week trip to Europe that's coming up in 11 weeks. We realized that her green card will come up to its 10-year renewal before then. She just filled out the I-90 form, and we realized that it may take a long time just get the biometrics appointment, let alone get the renewed...

My wife has an aunt across the country whom we feel will need assistance. She wants to stay where she is, and we don't think having her move up north with us would work for her. She has a niece in the Philippines who has a lot of experience as a caregiver and is interested in taking care of her...

Hi. We finally have our consular interview in Montreal, scheduled for my wife, whom I've sponsored. I've been living with her in Canada. Apparently, they were satisfied enough to get to this stage, based on the documents I submitted with my affidavit of support showing good faith intention to...

Finally!...We just got the appointment letter for the interview for my wife's visa. However, it contained something that surprised me and makes me curious. Under "*** IMPORTANT *** Interview Reminders" it says : "Petitioners are not required to attend the applicant's immigrant visa interview...

I know this is pure speculation, but I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on how the fiscal cliff will affect processing times, or whether it has already affected them. I notice that the charts for processing times haven't been updated for a couple of months. Perhaps if they don't have...

Hi, I'm a U.S. citizen sponsoring my wife, and we just sent the I-130. We previously went through this whole process but she was made to surrender her GC and lose her residency because she didn't move to the U.S. in time. The first time around, we were asked to submit police...

Hi, I'm a U.S. citizen living with my wife in Canada, and I've submitted an I-130 to sponsor my wife. I understand that when an I-130 is approved and we want to go to the next step, I will have to establish domicile in the U.S., even if I have a co-sponsor for the affidavit of support. My...

Hi, We just sent the I-130 (petitioning for my wife) through FedEx, to the address that the USCIS website says to use for commercial carriers. Unfortunately, when my wife drove it to the FedEx office, I forgot to tell her to put my name instead of hers in the Sender column. Although...

Hi, I'm a U.S. citizen sponsoring my wife with the I-130. We both live in Canada, and there is no office for consular processing here, so I'm sending the I-130 in the U.S. and putting my parents' address as the place where we intend to live. If I do that, is there any disadvantage to having...

Hi...one other question about being a U.S. citizen sponsoring my wife to life in the U.S.... Can I sponsor my wife to live in the U.S. via the I-130/I-485 process if I'm a U.S. citizen but no longer living in the U.S.? If I look at the information on the USCIS website, it seems that I can...

Hi, I don't know if anyone knows the answer to this, but thought I'd ask... As a U.S. citizen, I sponsored my wife several years ago to move to the U.S., but when she got her green card, we decided that based on career circumstances and needs at the time, we would just stay in Canada a...

Hi, I'm confused about what filing an I-129F for a K-3 does. I understand that there are already posts about whether it's worth it, but what I'm trying to understand is a more specific and basic question...What it actually accomplishes. Here's my confusion. As I understand, if I, as a...

I'm confused about a letter we received requesting evidence for form I-751. We had sent in an I-751 (request to remove conditions) for my wife, but since we never actually moved to the U.S. and her reentry permit lapsed, she was told once when we flew into the U.S. that she had to fill out a...
