A few other Canadians have asked about rescheduling interview. They were told it would be 4 or 5 months before they'd get a new date as the file gets put to the bottom of the pile. As stated above once the visa is issued you have 6 months to activate it.

I am unsure of Mexican laws. However I had a notarized letter from my kids fathering giving permission for them to immigrate with me. My custody order states joint custody and I didn't have a problem.

1. Do i submit to USCIS two I-130 forms? One for my new wife and one for her son. Yes

2. If i submit to USCIS two I-130's do i pay fees for each one? Yes

3. Do i submit to USCIS a G-325a for my wife's 11 year old son also? I understand i need to file one for myself and one for my spouse.
No, your step son doesn't need a G25a. For your wife you both fill one out to go with her I130.
