US Immigration from Canada

I m at a loss for words. Every other timeline I see has gotten approval for their EAD already. We have not gotten any updates since July 2022. Anyone else experiencing this?? Submitted my EAD request with AOS following K1 and marriage. Our NOA is May 26, 2022.

Hi, looking to see if anyone has found a way to get directly in-touch with the USCIS officer that interviewed them post naturalization interview. How do you submit evidence if they ask for more? I was not asked for more but my interview occured 12/13/2022, with a pending i-751. This is all marriage based. I passed, and the officer didnt realize my i-751 was pending until we got to that question. And no, he didnt need to request/wait for my file. It was in front of him on his desk. He asked if i wanted to give additional evidence so i gave him recent mortgae statements, health insurance, other insurance stuff since everything in the i-751 was from summer of 2020. It's february, and no movement. Yes, my spouse was outside but was never asked to come in. I honestly feel like he put my file on the back of his desk and forgot about it. I've put in a message through the USCIS portal and got a general response back saying the last status is that i attended the interview.

Has anyone had this happen, and been waiting this long? Any way to get through to this guy? I legit feel like i was just forgotten and not this is just pending because no one is thinking/looking at it...out of sight out of mind. I wonder if now with things being more elctronic if officers get promts when something is approaching the 120 days... but i doubt it, and it's probably just wishful thinking. At this point it has been 38 business days post interview that was passed and he even made the comment that 1) he would look at my case next week (i.e. Week of December 20th), and when i gave him the additional evidence he said he doesn't forsee there being problems with i-751 approval with this type of evidence and us having as child together since getting married etc. How can i just get someone to remind this guy to look at my stuff --- we really are an easy case!

Hi all! I become a LPR last year in October and I moved from Canada. Prior to becoming a resident alien for tax purposes, I was earning income from my regular salaried job in Canada which I expect to receive a T4 slip from this year, as well as through YouTube (I make online videos). My question is, for the income I earned before I became a permanent resident, how should I go about reporting that income on my 2022 U.S. Federal Tax Return? Should this income even be reported? I'm not sure if I'm considered a Dual-Status alien.

I have a tax appointment in the morning and I'll definitely ask these questions. I'm just a little curious because the tax accountant did explicitly say over the phone that his firm does not handle Canadian tax.

I am fully aware that any income earned after I became a permanent resident, including worldwide income, is taxable. I'm just concerned about the income earned before I received my green card. Hope that makes sense. I'd love some insight into this.

Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes.

filed my wife s i130 in August while living apart.

Her name is Jennifer on it is spelled as such On her passport and drivers lic ( Canada). We just got her long form BC from Nova Scotia for use in filing her Adjustment of Status ( hard left turn from original plan but here we are) anyways, so on her birth certificate her first name is spelled Jenifer. One N. Given she hasn t seen this since she was a teenager( so nearly 30 years ago) we had no idea there was a discrepancy between her BC and her passport and ID.

so now we are filing out the papers for her aos and of course this discrepancy is the worry in our minds. When filing the new papers we are thinking we will of course spell it as written on her BC and hope the i130 difference isn t a big deal should we include a note on why there s a discrepancy?

Hello VJ Community,

I am just posting this for anyone who may be wondering whether USCIS reads or considers unsolicited evidence you upload to your USCIS online account when no RFE is requested. Based on our case, I would say yes after receiving my A-file via FOIA. My AOS was approved last month after waiting for over 1.5 years. Along the way, we accumulated more evidence to make our case stronger. My husband uploaded a new I-864 when I finally got a US job with evidence as the first one submitted at initial filing was very weak. We also uploaded new evidence of bona fide marriage that we accumulated since filing.

Being a "curious George", I elected to see what USCIS has about me so I requested my A-file via FOIA online. I received the ~1000 pages that USCIS has about me 10 days after FOIA request. The file showed that they used the unsolicited evidence to approve our case and waive our interview. We meant to give them an updated I-864 in our interview but I am glad we uploaded online instead. Our case was approved without interview. I always wondered whether USCIS uses unsolicited evidence that you upload and based on my FOIA A-file, they did. All unsolicited evidence that I thought made my case stronger were used. I just wanted to share.
