CANADIAN CITIZEN WISHING TO ADJUST STATUS..PLEASE HELP!

[dutchmatt 1]

Hi All,

I am a canadian citizen previously on a TN-1 Status since 2007, met the love of my life (who is an American Citizen) in April 2008 and then got married in May 2009. I was laid off work 2 weeks afer our marriage and had to retrun back to Canada (unfortunately without filing an AOS). I got back into the U.S on August 25th on a visit to attend my cousins wedding and have decided to stay back to file for an AOS.

Since you came back to attend your cousin's wedding and not with the intent to stay and bypass immigration processes, you should be good to apply for adjustment of status.

I will let everyone who is waiting for a spousal visa to come through that all they had to do is come to the US, go grab a bite to eat and then say, "hey, while I'm why don't I get a green card." The red flags will be flying high!

Obviously, that is not a good idea.

Really? You think?

As you know, sarcasm and Off Topic behaviour is inappropriate and unacceptable in the immigration forums. Please refrain from continuing in this vein or administrative action will be taken. Thank you.

My situation is kind of similar to yours....My advice is: when you return to the US, just apply for an AOS.

I was laid off in Toronto. My wife who is American, got a job in DC about the same time I was laid off. We flew down, found a place and then returned to Toronto, packed and shipped our furniture and then drove down.

I was kind of going back and forth between the US and Edmonton, so had to wait before I do the AOS thing. I applied in late May and got my GC last week...so all in all about 3 months!!!
