US Immigration from Canada

Hi,

We received notification that our case was `Ready` to schedule an interview at Montreal but the steps from Montreal state that they'll send a Packet 3 and then a Packet 4 with instructions.

Our case has been in a ready state since March 20. We emailed Montreal embassy on March 30th as if we've received the packet 3 but haven't heard from them either.

What should we do? Is there a way to contact them?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey everybody, just thought I d chime in and say hello and that I will be starting the IR1 paperwork process in the near future!

Bit of background:

My wife is a U.S Citizen and PR of Canada - her Canadian Citizenship paperwork is just about complete, so she will be getting her Canadian Citizenship when that s done.

she will be submitting the I130 as the sponsor for me.

I m a Canadian Citizen only and will be the beneficiary.

Both of our kids (10&13) have dual US/CAN citizenship.

we live and work in Canada but my wife is ready to move back to the USA (we are all looking forward to it!), so hence the reason for the me applying for LPR in the USA.

We have been together since the end of 2002 and married since June 2007 so there should be no issues in proving a bonafide marriage lol.

I m guessing I have posted in the correct forum? Please bear with me as I go through this and ask lots of questions!

I m starting by looking at the I130 info thread here and on the USCIS site.

Any tips or suggestions in the meantime!?

Thanks!

We sold our car to a Toyota dealership in Idaho yesterday!!! We were very clear about the importation situation, and it took a while to make it clear that we didn't have a separate piece of paper called title as American cars do, but they bought it for even more money than my husband had been promised as a Kelly blue book offer in Canada, and we traded it in for an American car. Problem solved! I'm mentioning it in case anybody has the same issue. It cost us a bit, but less than we expected, and at this stage, we just wanted to get it over with.

Can you try at an airport near you that has a POE to avoid the drive?

It would be nice, but no. I think it's the same thing as someone who is already in the US having to go back to the border to renew their visa (at least, that's how it works in Canada, I think). You can't have your car already in the US if you're trying to import it, and an airport parking lot is already in the US .

Here's the thread we had found on this topic some people have luck with the after-market TPMS system, but it appears most people don't:

At the interview (Montreal Consulate), I was issued a 221(g) white slip and my passport was returned to me on the spot.

The officer told me they had all the documents they needed and the white slip says: "Supplemental questions will be sent to you by email. Passport"

Also, the signature space was left blank by the officer.

I can't seem to get any info on what this means other than it could be anything

How long does it take to receive the e-mail?

We waited, and tried all that. It has been 7 months already. We kept calling USCIS to see if the card was returned but it was not. USPS investigated it and said it was their mistake because the temporary holiday postal workers mis-delivered it. The card actually arrived right before Christmas 2018, just not at our mailbox.
Even if we found the card now it wouldn't be valid because I had to go in for a re-do of the biometrics - so that card is outdated and invalid anyways.

Hi I know this is old but worth a shot. I'm in almost the exact same situation - temporary holiday postal worker put it in the wrong mailbox and I filed for I-90 under "never delivered". We were also told the same information that I need to file it under lost/stolen and pay the fee so I didn't get my stamp at my appointment. We've sent in a letter AND fax to cancel the existing I-90 under the advice of the clerk at my stamp appointment. Also contacted my state senator for assistance which was almost no help. USCIS responded to them saying it will be processed under normal processing times.

Could you share what happened with your situation after? I made plans to go out of country for a wedding this summer and didn't think this lost green card fiasco would happen. I'm worried it won't be canceled fast enough for me to apply for another I-90 and get a stamp appointment. It's already been over a month since we sent in the cancellation request letter.
