Well, I never knew I was still a permanent resident any longer, but after travelling to the US with an expired green card I found out I am! Apparently you can't get rid of it too easily, and I am glad for it. We left the US years ago for me to go to grad school in Canada. Between being a parent, along with COVID restrictions and part-time work my PhD has lasted nine years. (!) But the border services agent in Vermont told me that I needed to file a series of forms, starting with i-90 for my expired green card, and then either 1-131 or N-470. It's wasn't clear to me which one, and I wasn't convinced he was 100 percent clear either. In the end he said to file 1-131 and that I would have two years to file for naturalization - which I now realize I must do if we are to ever travel to/live in the US again over the long term. But it seems that you can only file the I-131 from the US. Does anyone have any information on whether that has changed since COVID? This is very stressful as we are planning to go back for a family visit this summer and I don't quite know which route to go. Thanks!

Hi all! Apologies if this is already a thread but I thought it might be a good idea for people to post when they got their ILs here I noticed that on the big spreadsheet, it doesn't look like anyone got a letter in March at all! At least not from people on VJ. I only got DQ'd April 5 so I'm not anticipating anything for myself for a while but would love to watch others get theirs!!

If my spouse is visiting the USA during the consulate I130 visa process, is she able to complete her biometrics and medical here or does it have to be completed in her home country?

Good morning Visajourney family, I have a question that is not visa related but has to do with going back to Canada. I am intending on going back to Canada to be closer to my children but am also going to be coming to Florida multiple times each year. Is there any way that I can keep all of my insurance, etc in Florida instead of Canada? To clarify, I am a dual Canada/USA citizen. Thank you for your help.
