US Immigration from Canada

Hello,

Has anyone used the follow to join process to get their family to the US? If so, would you please tell me your average timeline after being DQed with the NVC, preferably if you applied through the Montreal Embassy.

Thanks

Hi,

I came into the United States on a K1 visa (Feb 26th, 2024) and have married my husband who is a citizen of U.S. (March 21st, 2024) and I just had a question that stumbled me while I was filling out my I-485 and I-765.

So basically, while filling out the I-485, you get to the question that asks something along the lines of Are you applying under section 245i of the INA? After looking it up, I m fairly confident that I am not and that I don t fall into that category. Then, I was filing out the EAD form to be able to work while we wait for approval and I was stumped when selecting the eligibility category. Technically, I would fall under (a)(6) because I m a K1 non-immigrant fianc e. However, that technically also doesn t apply to me because I m not looking to only work for the 90 days that I hold my K1 status like the description of that category states.

The only other eligibility category that I thought of or saw something about online was (c)(9) because it discusses applying for EAD while applying for adjustment of status. The problem with this category is that it s titled Adjustment applicant under section 245, which I figured was not me.

Basically, do I fall under section 245? Am I missing something here? Which eligibility category do I fall into?

Hopefully someone can help. These forms have been stressing me out and I can t wait to hand them in and never look at them again lol

Hi

My friend wants to visit the USA from Canada. In the past, she had some immigration issues but was never deported; she just received an exclusion order. After some time, she managed to regain her permanent resident status. How should she respond to the questions on the US visa application? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

I am a Canadian citizen residing in Canada with my spouse. Recently, my son filed an I-130 petition on behalf of both of us, and I'm pleased to inform you that our petition has been approved. As I am currently in the process of gathering the necessary documentation to proceed with my visa application, I have encountered a question regarding the requirement for a police certificate.

The authorities have requested a police certificate from my home country, as well as from the countries where I have resided since 1995. Since I have been living outside of my home country for an extended period, I am unsure about the specific information required for the police certificate.

Could you please provide guidance or share a sample template outlining what needs to be included in the police certificate? Any assistance you could offer in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I am a current GC holder by marriage. I received my GC in 2015, and ROC in 2018. I am finally getting around to applying for citizenship. I have started an application on the USCIS website, and I selected 3 year rule since I received my GC through marriage. But looking through this forum it seems like I can choose between the 3 and 5 year rules. Is one better/easier than the other? My application is not submitted yet, but I've already uploaded evidence for our marriage. Would it look suspicious if I changed it to a 5 year and deleted my uploads?
