US Immigration from Canada

I have a US immigrant visa valid until end of the year. I plan to begin my US PR status only in December as I still need to sell my properties before becoming a US tax resident. From now until then, can I enter the US as a tourist/business visitor without using the IV visa/activating the greencard status? I m Canadian so I don t need B1/B2 visa.

Does this card get process by the officers at border when you travel for the first time after the visa is issued ?

Please can some one share his or experience at IV in Montreal Canada US Consular.

Hello members,

I have a pending I-751 applied in Mar 2024 and N-400 submitted in Mar 2025..

Just curious about email notifications I received stating "We have taken an action on your case" on May 27 and Jun 22 (it was a Sunday). When I login into the account there is no change for either applications. Interestingly under n-400 myProgress tab I see Estimated time until your case decision: 2 Weeks

Anyone getting such notifications and did it cause any real movement in the status?

Not sure how long the wait is going to be!?

TIA.

My and my Fiance filed for an i-129f. I'm a US citizen and he is Canadian. I am currently pregnant, and the plan was to have a natural birth. I'm now being told this isn't possible, and taking care of the baby alone after a c-section is not ideal. Would it be possible to expedite for help with my surgery?
