US Immigration from Canada

Hi,

I wanted to start a thread for those who were waiting on their Montreal Consulate Rescheduling for those of us who had cancelled Interviews back in March and April.

I just received my email today, for my new Appointment date of October 19. Anyone else who is K1 and was also waiting for a Reschedule should report back when they get their reschedule email!

FYI My prior interview date was March 18, so I was one of the first ones to get cancelled since K1s only had interviews on Wednesdays at the time.

Hi all,

I combined my checking accounts and savings accounts as I have multiple of each. Do I need to list each asset separately (such as 2 401ks) or can I combine like assets?

Hey all,

So my approved petition was sent from NVC to Montreal at the end of March & arrived at Montreal in April (I have my case number).

Now I know that for the CEAC case tracker even though K1 is considered Non-immigrant you have to search through immigrant with your case number to see your current status.

I m just wondering if you pay any attention to the text below your status.

Example: My case says Ready last updated April 30th but the text says ready to schedule interview .

I haven t received anything regarding a P3 Document checklist to gather documents & book my health testing though so I m assuming not.

Also how would one receive their P3? Do you get any notification of being sent it? Is it sent through mail or email? I just don t want to miss anything when they finally get round to it again.

Hi all,

When police arrest people for suspected crimes, the U.S. Constitution requires them to show probable cause to a judge within 48 hours. But Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) does not do that. When ICE arrests people, it typically holds them for weeks before any judge evaluates whether ICE had a valid legal basis to make the arrest.

That may need to change.

A federal appellate court in California recently did something that is at once simple and radical. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said the usual constitutional rules that apply to normal police all over the country also apply to ICE. "The Fourth Amendment requires a prompt probable cause determination by a neutral and detached magistrate," the court said. This really shouldn't be a big deal. Prompt independent review by a judge of whether the government has a legal basis to take away a person's freedom is an essential safeguard against tyranny. It's something we all should be able to take for granted.

Yet it is a big deal. Since the 19th century, immigration enforcement has existed in a constitutional shadow land where the usual rules do not apply. When ICE arrests people, the only immediate review is from the ICE officers themselves. It may take the immigration court weeks to hold a hearing, and typically at the first hearing the judge may deal only with procedural matters.
