K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTrying US Immigrations again.
We are thinking of trying the US immigration again. I had brought my now husband down on a K-1 visa the first time. We were married Aug of 2007. But all went bad from there. Not with us but our so called Immigration attorney. So my husband was fed up with the attorney and went back to Canada. I was also. He has been back there since Aug of 2008. Now I have been hired on at a federal job and don't want to quit to move up to Canada with him. So we decided that we will try again.

My question are; Has anyone ever tried this before? Should I file I-130 or I-129?

I am wondering if we are going to have a hard time with this. We have all the papers from the last round on how our attorney messed up. Like telling him he could work with out a work permit. US gov was not happy!!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated on this

CanadaFiling 2006 Canadian Income Taxes
QUOTE (Reba @ Feb 25 2007, 10:34 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
you can file as either single, depending *when* you got married, or as "separated"

I filed my last return in Canada as "separated" and did not need to declare my husband's US income whatsoever. The lady who did mine at H&R Block was very knowledgable about what to do with it. Unlike the people I've met here at H&R Block in the US who really had no clue what they were supposed to do with our taxes here. huh.gif






I know what you mean. I am trying to get ours done here in California. (at H & R Block)....they told me we have to file seperate returns. That would me a loss of about $2000.00.....so I am looking for some who knows what they are doing now.

CanadaTrying to do Income Tax in the USA
Can only help with the process of filing income taxes? They told me today that we can not file a joint return. The reason givin was because my husband is still not a permanent resident yet. We are still going thru the immigration process. I am getting really upset with all of it. He lives here with me and we are legally married. We were married last Aug. Or could someone give me a name of someone in northern California who does these kind of taxes? crying.gif

CanadaCalgary Customs?
Yes that should be fine. I use just a pay stub and that worked for me. But I was working for the airlines and had my badges also. But you should be fine. Just make sure that you stress you have to be back to work on a certain date.

I have done that a lot and you should be fine. It's not as bad as you think. They just need to see that you are work and will return to Canada. You are lucky you can come to the states. I can't go back to Canada with my husband because they want us to do immigration but we are going to try it back in the states again. But this time without an attorney.

Is the CR2 process the exact same as CR1 in regards to the same forms and process being filed for each?


I ask this above because I kind of want to follow Jame's shortcuts but want to make sure the entire process is going to be the same first. Can I use Jame's shortcuts which reference CR 1 on a CR-2 for child??? Is the process the same??

Any takers on an answer??


Yes, all CR/IR visas are processed the same way by the NVC.

where do I find Jamie's shortcuts?

Ok I am just not sure what to file if I am going to bring my husband down on a CR1. Do I just file the I130 or do I have to file something differant and how do I find out what I have to file and do with this CR-1? I am so confused on this. The first time I file a K-1 and everything else that went with that. I don't want to use another attorney and go thru that mess again. 1500.00 down the tubes and nothing to show for it. I guess you can say I don't trust them. 1 rip off attorney is enough for me.

So if anyone can help me or lead me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Check out the CR-1 shortcuts. Most recent I think was by "LingChe".







Ok I tried to search and didn't come up with anything but K-1 visa. Could you please help on how to find that. Please.....
