Hi Peter,
My father who is a naturalized US citizen since Oct 2018 (He got his GC in Oct 2013) filed for my GC. I am in F2B.
I am born and raised in India, 32 yrs, unmarried, 5 years of exp in IT.
Priority date → Nov 2017
Petition approved → Nov 2020
My file should be with NVC now, probably in cold storage.
How severely has the pandemic slowed down application processing?
I have been hearing there will be no change in Visa Bulletin till May 2022.
Meanwhile I have also applied for Canada PR under Express Entry and got nominated by Ontario province.
I am expecting my Canadian PR application to be finalized in next 12 months.
Considering this -
1. When do you reckon I will get my GC?
2. I intend to be US + Canada citizen, both. Is there anything I need to know?
3. Will I be taxed by both countries? Is there a double taxation avoidance treaty?
Many thanks for taking questions, Peter :)
- proberts 5y agoThe NVC/immigrant visa process is a disaster unfortunately. Given how long you have been waiting, I definitely would recommend that you or your father contact a local Congressional office to make an inquiry on your behalf.
- godelmachine 5y agoOK, will do. So I see there could be no guesstimates as to when I might get my GC? Would you please comment on what I ought to know before I hold dual citizenship of US + Canada? Or is that even possible? Thanks again for fielding these questions :)
- proberts 5y agoIt's really hard to say because there's such a massive backlog and bottleneck but there's no prohibition against holding both US and Canadian citizenship.
- godelmachine 5y agoThanks so much, Peter. Honestly appreciate you doing this.
