Hi, Does anyone know if I can collect my Canadian maternity leave while I'm in the US waiting for my AOS? I read someone's post that working remote could cause problems with the visa, but does anyone know if collecting maternity leave would be ok? Our original interview data was early April, we're still waiting to re-book but I'm not due until March 2021 so I'm hoping to get to the US by at least March of 2022 when my maternity leave would run out.

Hi guys, I am almost done my AOS application and I wanted to know if I should include the following record in addition to my travel history in my AOS package? It might be giving too much information. Any feedback would be great! USCIS Attn: FBAS 131 South Dearborn - 3rd Floor Chicago, IL 60603-5517 RE: No I-94 Issued Applicant: NAME Dear USCIS Officer: I am writing this letter explaining that I did not have an I-94 issued at the land border during my entry into the United States from Canada. I entered the USA as a Canadian visitor on DATE using my Nexus card. My port of entry was Sarnia, ON/Port Huron, MI at the Blue Water Bridge crossing (Port Code 3802). As a Canadian Citizen, I am not required to have my passport stamped when I cross the border into the United States and do not require an I-94 Arrival/Departure Record. I was inspected at the border after I scanned my Nexus card, and was allowed to enter the United States. No I-94 was received. My travel history (arrival/departure document) that I printed off the official I-94 website states my record of latest entry into the country of DATE. If you have any questions or concerns, please call me at NUMBER. Thank you for the time taken in this case. Sincerely, NAME 8/10/2020

Expired Green Card AND expired extension letter |

Hello, I have been in Canada for a a few months due to Covid and it's now time for me to return home to New York. My greencard expired on 2/25/19 and my extension letter expires this month, on August 25. I HAD airline travel booked for the 24th but it has now been cancelled, and I'm finding it very difficult to get a flight out of here before then now. I am definitely going to keep trying my hardest to leave before then. In the event that it's impossible for me to do so, do I have any options, especially during COVID? I know that my *status* doesn't expire, just the extension letter and therefore the proof of my status expires. Is there any option for me to get the stamp in my passport from an embassy or consulate here in Canada? Will I have a lot of trouble at the airport or would it be a scenario of some extra chatting and the immigration officers looking up proof? Any help appreciated!

Overstay *stressing myself out again* |

Okay so something has come up that has started to stress me out a little (what s new)& I m looking for advice. Up until February of this year I d been travelling back & forth across the border to visit my now fianc since 2018 (we were just dating at the time). Now I m a Canadian Permanent Resident, with a British Passport so I m part of the VWP. I have a valid ESTA. Once my I-94 ran out after & I re-entered I was granted a new one. None of the border officers really had an issue with this since I lived 20 minutes from the border to Niagara Falls, NY and would literally walk across the Rainbow Bridge. However because of my UK passport, regardless of the fact I ve lived in Canada since I was 12. I m only allowed 90 days in the US as opposed to the 180 Canadian Citizens are allowed. I have never stayed in the US for more than 10 days at a time (most of the time honestly it was 4-5 including the days I entered & departed, 10 days was just when we went on vacation) & then I would leave for AT LEAST a week as my fianc and I took turns visiting one another every other week. I ve never overstayed on any I-94 s but have been granted more than one within any rolling year. Again, CBP never raised any issues with this, it was just a ok pay the $13 here s a new one . In fact I was instructed to apply for ESTA so that I didn t need to spend so much time filling out the form for the I-94 every time I needed a new one. I m now worried I ll be denied at my K1 Visa interview for overstaying as technically within a rolling year I did spend more than 90 day s in the US (although not consecutively). Are they just looking at overstays for consecutive days on one visa/I-94 or days total within a rolling year?
