Sponsoring wife

[will0624]

hello i filed my application to sponsor my wife last week, and i am thinking about getting my wife and daughter (i am going to file her application for canadian citizenship for her) to try and get the american visa, my wife moved to the USA with her family when she was really young and moved to canada when she was 16, she got their refugee claim denied and left canada in 2011, her family in colombia is now very stable and she has two of her families properties under her name which i assume shows she has ties to her country, i want her to get her visa so my dad and grandma who live in the USA can meet my daughter, i need some advice if i should go ahead and apply for it or would i be wasting my time
thank you

1. Sounds like a waste time applying for a TRV if she was removed after a refugee claim.
2. As an aside how are you applying for citizenship for your daughter? Were you a Canadian citizen at the time of her birth? If not, does she have PR status and resident in Canada?

yes i was a canadian citizen at the time of her birth, so you dont recommend applying for the american visa? i dont know what TVR is im a bit new to this
thank you

If you were Canadian citizen you can apply for you daughters citizenship now. It can take a while.

Seeing as you wife was a denied refugee claimant it is extremely likely she will be denied a TRV (visitor visa) she my need an ARC which will happen as the sponsorship progresses. Nothing can be done about it until they request it.

ok i understand thank you but are you talking about the canadian visa or american visa? cause im interested in getting them theyre american visa

I would suggest that you post your question on an American Immigration message board, you will get a much more accurate response.

I would suggest getting your daughter's Canadian citizenship figured out ASAP, being a Canadian citizen will make any US-related stuff much easier. She'll be able to see her grandparents without issue.

By any chance when she was born did you fill out something along the lines of a "certificate of foreign birth", I would do some googling on that.

Are you both an American and Canadian citizen?
