US Immigration from Canada

I immigrated in a k1. Became a U.S. citizen 6 years ago. Long story. > I ve been estranged from my son for 13 years. From the time I divorced his father. I continued to make attempts to connect over the years, u successfully. The entire time I was emailing my son or texting but it wasn t really him but my ex. My ex died last year. We have since discovered that my ex was portraying g himself as my son and was telling me he didn t want a relationship etc. at any rate my son and I are trying to build a relationship that we were robbed of. Since his Dad died he really has no one in Canada to turn to and is very alone. He came to visit me last year in the US and us now seriously thinking of moving here. Many questions. Can he come here and apply for aos. ( ?) or do I need to apply for him to come while he s in Canada. We ve lost a lot of time and heartache so the quicker the better. Being legal of course. Ty everyone for your guidance.

The news that everyone saw coming...

"More than 14 years after the original deadline, the enforcement of REAL ID-compliant driver's licenses or IDs has been pushed back once again."

Hello,

So I have my interview next week and as I was reviewing my N-400 online I realized I made a mistake, and I was wondering how big of a deal it might be. On Part 10 Question 8: It asks how many times has your spouse been married and I put 0 instead of 1. (I am filing based on marriage.) I think I was tired when I filled it out and thought the question was asking how many times has my spouse been previously married, not how many time they've been married in total.

Also, my spouse is not able to attend the interview due to an important work obligation that day, but we did ROC years ago and from what I understand it's not necessary for them to attend after ROC. Will that hurt my case?

Thank you.

Greetings good people!

The abbreviated version of our story: I entered the US (from Canada) in 2012 on a K1 visa. We've been happily married since. Yay! Around the start of Covid we moved to Canada for family reasons and originally did not intend to return to the US in a full-time capacity... at least for the foreseeable future. Well, things have changed of course and now we're looking to return. My wife (US citizen by birth) is moving back next week for a new job and I'm hanging back here until we can secure an IR-1.

I do have a green card, but as per everything I read online, because I've been a full-time resident outside of the US for almost 3 years, it's considered as abandoned. Now, there's been nothing official from me or USCIS about said abandonment. I did find out recently that there is a form to formally notify that I'm not longer a resident, so I'll be filling that out immediately. I am kicking myself a bit for not knowing that before, but here we are.

Question is, does anyone know if we can just immediately apply for CR-1 after submitting the I-407 (green card abandonment) or if they may reject due to my having only just abandoned my green card?

Also, before anybody asks, yes we have thought about the SB-1, but it seems pretty clear that I have to have intended to return to the US all along and were unable, which is clearly not the case.

We are waiting to hear back from an immigration attorney but I figured I'd post here to see if anyone has any insight.

Cheers!

I have my N400 interview later this week, but I also have my I-751 pending still. A lot of people have commented about having a combo interview, but my notice doesn't say anything about it being a combo interview, nor has the status changed online. It still says 'I-751 Case has been received'.

Has anyone else had experience with a non-combo N400 interview?
