US Immigration from Canada

Hello,

I had my K-1 visa interview in Montreal on August 9th, 2022 and left with a 221g.

I finally got the docs required and send it in via courier and the tracking number shows it was delivered on Thursday Nov 3rd. CEAC still shows as Refused with no updates since August.

I'm wondering what a realistic (and recent) idea on a timeframe would be for a decision to be made. Wondering if I ll be able to be with my fianc in the USA for Christmas or if we should make alternate plans. Our son s 2nd birthday is earlier in Dec as well. I was so hoping we could all be together by then as well but that s probably just wishful thinking.

Any insight would be helpful!

Hi! I m about to apply to renew my green card for the first time and in the last ten years we have moved many times and I can t find my old paperwork! These are the two questions I m not sure which answers to put in. I interviewed in Montreal for my K1 visa, moved to Maine, filed in Portland, Maine as my local office and my paperwork was sent to the Vermont Service Center. Which of these places would I put in these two spots?

I m sorry this is such is stupid question. I ve checked everywhere and I can t find it anywhere! Any leads would be very appreciated!

thanks!

Hey all,

I'm about to file my N-400 application but I'm curious to know how other people counted their travel days. The instructions say to count how many days you were outside of the US for over 24 hours -- so, does that mean we don't include "travel days?" (ex. If I took a flight at Noon from New York to Canada, does that "day" count toward my total?)

I've made ~10 trips out of the US in the last 5 years, so whether or not I include my travel days will change my total count by 20 days.

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

Quick background: I became a permanent resident and got my green card at the beginning of 2020, right before covid hit. I wasn't able to get to the SSN office to update my SSN number before they all shut down due to covid. Currently, my SSN card has the "DHS authorization" restriction on it, and my conditional 2 year green card is now expired. I have submitted my ROC documents and have my 24 month extension letter.

Am I able to go to the SSN offices with my expired green card and valid extension letter and update my SSN to remove this restriction? If anyone has experience with this, I would greatly appreciate hearing it.

Thank you.

Hi everyone. We are June 2022 filers, 5 months waiting now. My American fianc e (petitioner) worked 3 jobs this year, but 2 of them were largely seasonal and 1 of them she is only per diem right now. We are trying to get more hours at 2 of her jobs so that she can be making more during the off season, but we are not having good luck. Obtaining a new job is not optimal option for us, because it would be hard to get time off to visit each other. She is thinking of applying for partial unemployment, while she still works at 2 of the jobs on the weekends. Does being on partial unemployment for about 5 months (November-April) affect our K1 visa in ANY way at all? And will it affect future things like AOS, etc.? We believe she has made enough to cover the poverty line already, but if not, her mother is a guaranteed co-sponsor.
