Travel to USA on CR-1 but not immigrate

In Canada you cannot obtain any benefits as you are not a resident of the country. I'm sure it's the same with most countries. It's a residency issue, not a citizenship issue. I bet the OP actually looked into the issue in Sweden and if you delved deep enough into the UK you may find the same thing.

UK as well you need to be a resident in the UK, Citizenship and any status you hold elsewhere are not relevant.

I am also going to guess that what constitutes residency in the UK is different to both Canada and Sweden.

And that to get the answer you would need help from Google and to speak Swedish.

I doubt that her Citizenship is in question just because she has her US GC.

And I am sure that many people in Sweden obtain those benefits you mention without being a Swedish citizen.

From a UK perspective it is certainly possible to hold a GC and obtain those benefits. No idea what the Swedish rules are.

Wife and I are separating during my IR-1 VISA application

It has been said that Consular Officers read posts on VJ. This and a few others of late must, if they were not already so inclined, make you somewhat cynical.

Or is it just me?

wish to set immigrant visa interview in United States

Transferring a DCF case seems contra logical, can not remember it coming up before?

May be Lawyer time, my gut feel is that it would be easiest to go through with the original DCF.

From your post it sounds like both of you overstayed your visas.

You also posted at midnight UK so perhaps that explains the lack of clarity.

Thx....but my worry is now is the concern they would look on us with suspicion because we married with in 30 days..Like I say this wasn't the purpose to live in the USA But Uk.

There is no 30 day rule, you can marry in the US straight of the plane.

You came over on the VWP, married and left, lots of people do that, Las Vegas baby?

Now you are in a completely different situation, wanting to emigrate to the US.

Does your wife have ILR in the UK, what is her status in the UK?

You can self sponsor the I 134, but you will need the I 864.

If you were in the US you could have adjusted then.

There is no right to travel, she can certainly seek entry.

Sounds like the issue may have been the frequency of her visits.

Best course of action

Presumably he can not have that many ties, he is moving to the US and has been able to spend a lot of time in the US.

There is no direct answer to your question, you know you are pushing it, all depends on how lucky you feel.

I can not see how going through the visa process could be more of an issue than you being there with him. The latter sounds much more obvious.

Domicile will only be an issue when you reach the interview stage, sometime next year.

Sounds like you will have moved back by then and it will not be an issue. If you do not have the income at the time you can use co sponsors, your financial situation benefits etc would not be relevant.

Go to the site I mentioned, one of the comments often made is that if you want USCIS to know something it can be very hard, if you do not then they will find it.

There is a forum here about waivers and that web site I mentioned is mainly about waivers of different types.

First check what you are up against.

The process is similar, except he would be refused a visa at the interview and given the opportunity to file a waiver, last time I saw they seem to be taking 6 months or so.

Assuming a waiver is needed then whilst some people do their own, it does require a lot of work.

On the plus side if it is a simple overstay the success rate is high.

I would start the process by having at least a consultation with a Lawyer familiar with waivers. There is a list of good ones on www.immigrate2us.net.

Yes, I was not there so not sure what that was or if it was required etc. I have no knowledge of that aspect of it all. Anyone have experience with that? He doesn't even remember if they gave him a copy of that paper (I assume so but he has ADHD so this stuff is a bit troublesome for him.)

You said in your first post that he had surrendered his Green Card.

They do not cover it because it is not any different.

Probably not the common, but there are specific issues, shame he filled the form in.

Hubby is all worried because he had a green card once and had to give it up. He is asking if it is different once you've had one. Can he still AOS right now or is there some special legal provision that would make that not possible? Anyone know about that? I have been looking on the USCIS site and they really don't cover that

Also I don't even know if we have all the documents needed to file like his birth certificate and mine etc. I could get copies made and sent to us but again, we weren't planning on filing so obviously wouldn't prepare for that. We have our passports and her citizenship card but my SSN and the birth certificates etc. are up in Canada.

You will need the documentation.
