Q: U.S. citizen filing I-130 wife lives in Canada illegal. Do i file for her in Canada or she should go to her home country
Can i file the petition as if she is in her home country to have a interview in that embassy or do i file with her Canada address and she will get an interview for U.S. Embassy in Canada. Thanks for your help.
A:
It is important to be truthful when completing immigration petitions. For purposes of completing the I-130 and any subsequent forms, you should list the address of where your wife (beneficiary) currently resides. Assuming your petition is approved, she can attend the immigrant visa interview at a US consulate in the country of her nationality.
Best Wishes
