This would be true if Canada was a part of the United States... When he go to Canada he has left the states and the clock is off.

I'm well aware that Canada is not part of the US. However, this part of the VWP exists to prevent people from using a trip to Canada or Mexico to reset the clock without spending significant time outside the US by going home. The most comprehensive, clear explanation I have seen on this is actually on the US Embassy in Australia (http://canberra.usembassy.gov/vwp/mexico_canada.html). Take a look.

I have have been using the VWP so I know how it works. It doesn't stop the clock. What they mean is that they want you to really be aware that if you try to go to Canada to "reset" the clock and go back to the States they will deny you entry because you have to stay away a "reasonable amount of time" before going back to the states.

Actually they would stamp you back in but would not reset the 90 days. People go to the Canadian side of the Niagara Falls and come back in, it's not unheard of.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:
