    Diplomatic missions abroad are closed for a selection of local and US holidays. Since your interview, there's been Juneteenth, Fête nationale du Québec, Canada Day, and now Independence Day... Not sure if they worked any of those, but it's going to delay the final approval for sure. I would wait another week before sending an inquiry.

    Not unusual. Many do not file for citizenship, they get approved eventually, with or without interview.

    Please keep us updated. Would be very unusual for the waiver to be approved, and even more so before the year is completed, but sometimes weird things happen.

    Many employers are letting employees on parental leave stay on the health insurance, some requiring that you pay the employer's share of the premium. You might want to look into it. Otherwise, you might look into all the instructions for the affidavit of support; see if you have enough assets to qualify without income.

    I am not going to say that some people are buying refundable tickets just to get "in person" passport service (for US passport, or foreign at some diplomatic mission), but maybe some are, or so I have heard (and seen). The extra cost for in person/express/urgent processing might be less than the cost of documents to be replaced, if lost, and that is not counting the cost of stress. I would never recommend to lie, but travel plans can change 🤷‍♀️

    This might be the fastest/most practical solution.

    Schools might request an equivalency, most employers won't request anything like that. Maybe if you're a very young adult, they might want to see documents, but usually they'll take your word/see other work experience that would have required some education.

    Many community centers are offering coaching for the interview. In my city, some volunteer lawyers and retired USCIS agents do mock interviews. Please tell your spouse that there's help for her out there!

    Spousal visa, or fiancé, the interview will be in Montréal. Also, you might want to compare the pros and cons, K1 is seldom the best option for Canadians. Member @Crazy Cat has a nice compilation he built over the years. Best of luck!

    You need to discuss finances with your spouse. If you have no savings, then he absolutely has to support you since you are stuck unable to work. Ask him when you could go to the grocery together so you can plan your meals for the week, while he his at work. If you are uncomfortable, then you can tell him that you are, and that you would like to plan to pay for a getaway weekend/your first car/deposit on your apartment/[whatever fits your situation] once you are able to work. Do not starve yourself.

    I mean, if you feel there's nothing "administrative" justifying the denial, then that's the other option.

    If there's really nothing, they might simply doubt the validity of your relationship.

    Have you ever been arrested?

    It's calculated by calendar days/dates. December 1 to a December 31=one month June 1 to June 30=one month February 5 to April 4=two months Any partial day with presence in the US counts as present in the US.

    If you think you qualify, then see: https://www.immigrationadvocates.org/legaldirectory/

    The vast majority of beneficiaries with valid visas are able to visit, for reasonable duration/frequency. It's ok to be prudent, and to listen to your lawyer; however visiting is a possibility.

    Page 45 (document page, not pdf page), and Part IV if they have further questions. Should not be a problem though, very common to travel with a visa. https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2023-Nov/Carrier Information Guide ENGLISH.pdf

    My SSN card never had the mention, entering with a spousal visa, the card is not restricted; the restriction could have been removed as soon as you got the green card.

    I don't have the time or energy to do the research for you, but I felt it was necessary to point out that it wasn't accurate so that you, and others, don't rely on your post. You want to search for information applicable to immigrants, not visitors.
  21. Lemonslice
    You can search some more, but pretty much everything you've said in your first post is not applicable to Canadians/immigrants.
  22. Lemonslice
    ... I read that. I also read that some boxes are not being cleared, and I gave you a good reason why they might not be. Not because the first lot was cleared mistakenly, that the second will be. Best of luck.

    The bolded part is ONE of the conditions. Google "Maintaining Permanent Residence" to learn more. Also, not sure that we should follow the example of people not following the rules and not getting caught. Good for them, but not great for the ones who get caught trying to circumvent the system. I see plenty of people speeding on the highway, not sure telling the cop I was imitating their behaviour will help me when I'm the one caught... If your children have no intention of living in the US, might be best not to burden them with lifetime tax filing. Something to be discussed. Best of luck to you and your family.

    Your goods should follow you and be cleared by customs AFTER your entry.

    Are you a Canadian citizen? If so, the ESTA information is not applicable; Canadians are not getting ESTAs. Importation fees are also different when immigrating. Visitors information (ex. Snowbirds, etc.) will not be applicable to most immigrants)
