US Immigration from Canada

Forgive my ignorance if this has been posted, but is there actually a list of the visa types aside from "visitors to the US staying more than 30 days" that have to register with USCIS? Is it a blanket requirement? Are dual intent visa holders required to register?

I ask because I mentioned to my friend with a TN visa that I believe he needs to register because it's a non-immigrant visa stay in excess of 30 days. He was going to verify with his corporate lawyers because he assumed that as an employment visa, he was exempt.

Simply curious.

Hi all,

Apologies if this is the wrong category for this question but I'm married to a Canadian and we applied for the CR-1 on August 2024. Since then, he's come to visit and has been here since November 2024 (132 days ago today).

He was supposed to go home in January but decided to extend his trip until April since he's allowed to be here for 182 days. As for finances, he freelances when he's home in Canada (not doing work in USA don't worry :-) he has savings and I make enough to support us both).

We would like for him to stay until May since that's the final 6 months that's allowed. My question is, will this impact our CR-1 application if he stays for this long? As per the new executive order, we did register here: https://www.uscis.gov/alienregistration but since he's Canadian he's supposedly exempt from fingerprinting but at least has to make an account and register.

Thanks for any advice!

I am looking for some help/guidance with our current petition. After 3 long months, my fianc and I have received Packet 3 from the Montreal Consulate, and are currently waiting for the Police Certificate to arrive so we can submit all documents to continue with the process. However, our I-129F approval expires very shortly, and we will certainly not have an interview scheduled before the approval expires. Due to most of the 4 month period being taken up by waiting for the consulate to give us our next steps, I have tried requesting an extension both through email (to Canada.Visas@gdit-gss.com or Canada.ACS@gdit-gss.com) and phone number (438-793-1947 or 514-398-9695) and get the same response back that those contacts are only for interview scheduling service, and to go to the website for the correct information on how to contact properly. This is the contact information the website displays, so we are stuck in an infinite loop without being able to get ahold of anyone who can help. Does anybody else have any other contact information to speak with someone or experience with how to do so? If not, is this something we should even be focused on doing? (Most forums and videos online state that once we complete all documents and attend the interview, that they will automatically extend the validity there and then). Consensus says it's not something to be worried about, but I thought I'd ask for help rather then let it be and show up just to be denied as we are this far along in the process. Thank you!

Hi, our I130 was just approved and we are waiting on the NVC email but I have a question about getting ready to complete the I864.

I am a USC and lived in Canada past 11 years, moved back to US a few months ago, my husband is still in Canada. I have been filing my US taxes while living in Canada, but now that I am back in the US can I use my employment letter as proof of income? I did not have any US income in past 11 years but now have US income starting December 2024. I am hoping to not have to get a sponsor. My husband and I also have savings/GIC's in Canada with around 500k in them, can I use this as assets on the form? TIA!

We just received a request for initial evidence, a list of 5 pages...

Things that we already provided are on the list.

They are being extremely demanding

Anyone did it themselves or did you used a firm ? Is so, which one could help please.

I am Canadian from Montreal area and my fianc is American

Also, if we cancel; wil I be able to go USA as a regular tourist after cancellation.

Thank you so much for help

Danielle and Todd
