The, obviously wrong, feeling of time

jess&andrew - It depends on which state you apply in if they take your driver's license or not. Most do, Illinois does(where I'm from), but not all. Also, yes you will still need to go apply for a SSN even if you check that box. It doesn't apply to K-1's

I'm also pretty sure that you can't lose your Canadian citizenship once you aquire it... Someone can correct me on that if I'm wrong

jess&andrew the DMV in Virginia did take my Ontario DL. Yes so much more to do and spend once you get to the US. As far as AOS & EAD I am thinking that it is going to take 6 - 9 months for the AOS that way I am not disappointed if it happens earlier.

Leafgal,

That's so weird about the license thing. My sister, who's husband's family have a house down in Florida - she applied for a license for the fun of it, and they never took her Ontario one. The AOS I'm in no rush for, but the AP I am for sure (I need my family/friend fix! Not everyone will want to come visit me where I'm going to be in Michigan) and the EAD.

Anyone cross the Detroit border recently with their K-1? Did you get an EAD?

Lol - your reply came after I submitted my other one.

Thanks for the info. What was the point of checking that box then!? SIGH!

So I'll always be a Canadian citizen in Canada's eyes then? Cuz I hear about that ceremony where they swear you in (in the U.S.) and you have to like, denounce your previous citizenship or something like that.

Someone needs to write a manual on this stuff - there's so much confusion.
