US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Ask the Embassy. Your Top Questions will be answered by an actual Consulate Officer	Hello Everyone, I am a Dual citizen of US and Canada born in U.S. Last June my Canadian girlfriend and I got married in Canada. We have residences in both U.S. and Canada but want to be in U.S. to finish building our house and take care of my severely ailing 89 year old father. As I understand it, I can file the I-130 from within U.S. but she cannot return if she leaves to see her ailing mother in Canada. Is there any way for her to be able to leave the U.S. and then return while her papers are being processed? Also, should I file for a CR-1 rather than I-130? Thank you	getback	Male	0	2007-12-08 14:00:00
Canada	DCF I864 paid taxes in Canada	Hi, Need I864 help here...thanks for all your replies. I am a Permanent Resident of Canada and I have been paying taxes in Canada every year for 9 years and I am paid and filed up to date. I am also a USC wanting to file a DCF I130 after marrying my Canadian girlfriend in Canada. Recently, this past June I received a disability income from the US that is non taxable in the U.S> This will be my SPOUSAL support income for the I864. QUESTION; Since I have not previously had any income nor filed taxes from or in the U.S. for over 9 years DO I have to have IRS forms to file with my I864....remember, a person cannot be taxed twice on the same income or is a letter describing the above sufficient for NVC? HELP PLEASE	getback	Male	0	2006-09-06 16:10:00
