My husband qualified in the EB1 Visa category A (Arts) and we are heading to Montreal for our interview in three weeks time.
I have read that an Affadavit of Support is sometimes needed at the interview. However it is my understanding that this only applies to the Family category and the EB1 is an Employment category - so we don't need that form. Is this correct?
I have also read about the Employment letter being needed at the interview. However EB1 applicants are not required to have a job waiting for them in the States, so my husband does not have to show such a letter. Is this correct?
I see that some people take in Tax forms, that are obviously American tax forms from their strange form numbers. We have never worked in the US, and have only been in Canada for the last 12 years. Are we exempt from showing tax returns?
What about pay stubs - we have already mailed in proof of earnings for the year prior to submitting our original application - so is this needed again?
Last question...our daughter who is immigrating with us, will come to the interview, cross the border to get her passport stamped, and then she will return to Canada to continue her studies at a university there for another 20 months. Is she allowed to do this on her green card?
Anyone knowing all or part of these questions..please help!
Thanks ~
