IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresProof of ties to Canada
Hello there!!!
With the Holidays arriving, my Canadian Husband is a few weeks away from visiting for 2 weeks (yay! Our first anninversary too!). Needless to say, I am hella excited cause it's been since January. I wanted to be sure to give him enough ties to Canada so we wouldn't have any problems with customs.

ANYWAYS, aside from giving him a copy of our NOA1 (or possibly a copy of our approved I-130 that I'm waiting to get in the mail?), I want to have him get a letter from his company that he will be returning home within 2 weeks. Now, should the letter from his boss say anything specific? I imagine the date they expect his return, but I would appreciate it if anyone can give me some tips on what else to include or direct me to some examples of what to give his employer.

Thanks again and Happy Holidays!!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChoice of Agent?
Both my Husband and I received e-mails from the NVC and on MY side, I know what I have to do (the whole pay 88$ to continue stuff..), but on my Husbands side (the e-mail he received) it wants him to appoint a choice of agent. Now, we didn't go the route of attorney and I've been filling all the papers out, etc. Should he just appoint ME or himself?

The header of the form reads:

"U.S. Department of State
CHOICE OF ADDRESS AND AGENT
For Immigrant Visa Applicants"


Thanks for your help!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresExpiration Date on "Choice of Agent Form" ?
Oh, how I'd love for NVC to not have a busy signal for 2 days and also answer my e-mails!
Because of that... here I am asking you guys!

On the top left corner of my husband's NVC "Choice of Agent" form, it says "Expiration Date: 12/31/2006". Obviously it ISN'T 2006, so I can only assume it could possibly be 2010 or 2011, by which.. I'm waiting to know an answer to a question I have for these people that is left unanswered and the deadline could possibly be up to send it out.

IS there a deadline...?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864 Package
Questions, questions! It's so wonderful to have this forum as a resource so I'm not listening to an automated system...

ANYWAYS, I just got confirmation that the NVC received my husband's choice of agent form. I payed the AOS fee, and we have the invoice for the Immigrant Visa Bill. Now... my question is this.

Will I receive the I-864 package even though we haven't payed the Immigrant Visa Bill yet? The bill is so huge so it's probably going to take me a month or two (since my previous company still hasn't given me my W-2 I was depending on) to get the funds. I want this to go perfectly and as quickly as possible so I was hoping I would get this package before and fill that out while I'm waiting for my Husband and I to get the money for the bill.

The NVC is closed today due to the weather so.. I just had to ask an actual person. I really appreciate the help!
It seems a little .. ridiculous that they want so many fees all at once when you've barely done anything. It's just... ungh agitating in this U.S. economy.
