Hello, I’m an American citizen and my husband is Canadian. He acquired his K-3 visa as of July 16, 2003 and is ready to apply for I-485 (Greencard). As a sponsor, I’ll have to prepare the I-864 (Affidavit of Support). Since I have two children, $22,062 is a minimum income requirement for...

Thank you. Good morning, Jim. Thank you for your reply. Yes, I'm a US citizen. My husband is Canadian and technically lives outside the US although he can visit me anytime. The problem is that he wants to work ASAP. Which way is sooner for him to get a working permit, filing the K-3 or...

Hi there, I filed an I-130 for my spouse a week ago. I have a couple of questions. 1) How long does it approximately take to receive an I-797? 2) My husband is from Canada and has no problems with visiting me with his passport. Actually he commutes as a visitor. Should I file a K-3...

Hi there, I just sent an I-130 for my spouse. After I receive a first I-797 receipt, I will apply for a K-3 visa. I'm taking this way instead of filing an I-485 because I don't want to wait until I have an I-130 approval. Today, I was told that my husband could file an I-485 with...

Thank you! Hi Pork Chop, Thank you so much for your reply as well as the additional information. Some people say that if my husband is on a visitor status, he has to file his I-485 in his country (visitor fraud??), but the others say that it is OK to do in the States although he is a...

Thank you. Thank you so much, sachin! I'm trying to make phone calls here and there to find out accurate information. If I need a lawyer, I will email you. Thanks for your help. Jennie

Hi, I have a question regarding a US green card. I'm a US citizen and my husband is Canadian. Now I'm trying to sponsor him to get a green card but I'm not sure which way is right. People are saying differently and I'm confused now. He can stay with me for a while without a visa...

I think I confused you. Hi sachin I'm sorry, I think I have confused you. Actually, my husband doesn't have a visa (Canadians don't need a visa), but he can commute without restriction. Is this the same case? I really appreciate your help. Jennie

Another question Hi Sachin, Thank you for your information. OK. here is the situation. I live near Canada, so my husband can commute anytime he wants as a visitor (Canadians don't need a visa). While he is in the States as a visitor, can I still file I-130 and I-485 at the same time...

Hi, Recently I have become a US citizen and I'd like to sponsor my husband (Canadian) to get a greencard. Would you kindly explain what process exactly I should go through? I'm preparing I-130 now. What is after that? Also, I'd like to know how long it takes to get petition approval...

Finally Hi all, I had an oath ceremony last Friday on 21 of Feb. It was quick and simple but emotional. It took only an hour and after that I applied for an American passport. So, all process took approximately 5 and half months to get a certificate of naturalization. I wish you all...

Thank for the info, SV303! Thank you very much. Jennie:)

Hello, My oath day is just around corner. Should I learn the "Pledge of Allegiance" and the "Star-Spangled Banner" by heart for that day? Thanks. Jennie

Does anybody know how long it takes to get a PR through a Canadian spouse? I live in upstate NY and my husband is from Montreal. Thanks in advance. Jen
