US Immigration from Canada

Hello everyone.

It's been a while since I've visited this site. Everyone on here has been super helpful and supportive with resources and advice.

I've come back with a question regarding greencard expiry and I was hoping if someone could help me out.

I was issued my greencard about two years ago after our K1 interview. My spouse and I have been married for 2 years and three months (the greencard expires before our 3 year mark). I assume the greencard is conditional because it has will expire in a couple of months (making it a two-year greencard). I wanted to clarify what next steps should be before I file any applications.

After browsing the site, it looks like form I-175 is the way to go. Would that be correct?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

I'm wondering what next steps I should be taking as when I filled my I-751 in June of 2021 I received a 24 month extension to my I-551. Based on the extension given it will lapse as of March 7, 2023. I have started filling out my I-400. I tried requesting a status update online but since we are still just within the 24 months it wouldn't send one through. Should I send additional information and pictures showing that yes my husband are in fact still married hoping to to maybe say hey don't forget about me and approve this?

Looking for any and all suggestion.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I had my interview on 25th Jan from Montreal consulate and I was issued a 221g letter and asked for my additional documents which includes original birth certificate, criminal record check and my passport. I submitted my docs via courier and my last case update was 15 Feb 2023 which has been updated twice but still is refused. what does it mean? is this positive or negative response? also, is it necessary to go every 221g case to AP process or some directly get changed to issued? please let me know.

Thank you.

Hi all!

I checked for a post about this but couldn't really find exactly what my question was. Apologies if this is duplicate or if it was mentioned previously. I have a few questions regarding acquiring the green card after entering the US with an approved CR-1:

• Can you start to work immediately after crossing the border if you had a job offer waiting for you?
• Does already having a SSN expedite this process? I have a SSN due to having worked on a visa previously.
• Do you need a physical green card in hand to start to work?

Hi guys, this is my first time posting on here after quietly sleuthing for months..

my immigration journey has been unique, initially filed for consular processing and started the process March, 2021.

i130 was approved Dec 2021, and I began my NVC process.

However this past June while visiting my husband I went into early very early labour and had my baby in Michigan & while my baby was in the NICU we decided that we would have to change to AOS processing.

We submitted the I-485 & I-864 Sept 26, 2022- I had my biometrics Oct 28,22 & my case went into active review Oct 29, 2022.

There has been no updates since then... I am now realizing that I should have submitted the I-693 medical exam and am now worried that I did this incorrectly.

I am assuming I will get an RFE for a medical & can submit it then but I am wondering if I can go ahead and do the medical and submit it on my own before the RFE?

Or should I wait?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.. thanks :)
