US Immigration from Canada

Hi - not sure if I named this topic right - but I will be coming up on time for me to apply for my ROC later this year. My only question at the moment is:

I have a valid Ohio drivers license that will expire later this year (I applied for it based off of my EAD - and received a green card after I had already gotten the DL)

My GC will not expire until 1/3/24, so I considered going in to renew my DL based off of the GC. However, the earliest I can file for my ROC is October of this year, so when the I-751 is submitted, will there be an extension letter for the I-551? Will there be NOAs?

Am I able to use the extension letter to renew my DL? I cannot seem to find anything on the Ohio BMV site about the particular verbiage for the form name, mostly just the usual: Proof of Residency, SS, name, DOB etc.

That is my only concern as I do need to drive to work, I'd like to keep making money, after all lol

Thanks for all your help and any corrections!

Hi!

I was trying to book an appointment for my medical and the medical physician says that they'll send it directly to the Montreal Consulate.

The packet 3 and 4 confirmations state that I need to bring the sealed medical report to the Consulate.

Which is it?

Does the doctor send it to the Consulate directly and I take nothing?

Or

Do I pickup the results myself and take the envelope to the interview?

Any help is appreciated!

Hey everyone.

I'm FINALLY getting around to applying for my first US passport after becoming a citizen last year - I did not have any travel planned so I had no need to have one at that time - and I'm a little confused by the "Spouse of Applicant" information section.

Apologies if this is a silly question.

Has the applicant ever been married?

The answer is "yes" ?

He's married to me, and ONLY been married to me.

So the for is asking for HIS information in that section?

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!!
