US Immigration from Canada

Hi, My husband has his L1A and I am with him on an L2. Received visas July 20, 2019 and they are set to expire July 20, 2021. My husband is the GM for US operations and the US branch for his employer. When we first agreed to come here, they expressed the hope we would want to retire here with them. They are going to have to either apply to extend the L1A/L2 soon or apply for adjustment of status. They recently hired a new immigration attorney and we haven't had dealings with him yet. I want to have my ducks in a row first so we know what we need to do. I read on the USCIS website that to apply for permanent resident status as an EB-1 my husband would need to have been employed outside the US in the 3 years preceding the petition for at least 1 year by his firm.

If I am understanding this correctly, does this mean the employer has this limited window to apply for our adjustment of status? I am afraid if they just renew the L1A we will miss that window and have to leave once all extensions are exhausted.

Appreciate any insight.

Hi all!

I moved to the USA under a K1 Visa Jan. 3rd 2019, married March 2019, and received my green card July 2019. I started working the last week of December 2019 but was not paid until January 2020, so I do not have a W2/that doesn't apply. So basically, I was here nearly all of 2019 and didn't have any income. Do I need to file taxes? If so, how would I go about that?

Thank you

Hi there I ve heard a few different stories but are scanned passport photos required at NVC stage or do we just bring them to the interview? And do they need to be signed and dated? Or notarized?

So, you've made it through the NVC in 2020 and your case is being sent on to Montreal (finally)?

Please post your case complete/documentarily qualified date here for easy tracking!

Cheers!

My husband and I moved back to Canada in May 2019 after living in the US for 5 years. He is now a permanent resident of Canada. Anyway, we are traveling back to the US in 2 weeks to visit his family. I have a 10 year greencard which I know will be no good to me since we have moved. Do I still bring it with me? Or just leave it and travel with my passport? I am a bit worried they will take it from me...which I know makes no difference in the end since I am technically no longer a US permanent resident but I worked so hard for it I would be a bit sad if they took it .
