US Immigration from Canada

Hello everyone,

sadly i had a very hard month with the moving, and so many other things.

with that being said i lost my green card which I cried about for a whole week cuz i am always careful with my USCIS stuff to avoid any delays but sadly i lost mine at the airport.

I filled out the lost an found form a week ago n sadly no updates if they found it or not which is hurting me so much.

Since i already filed my N400 and have a picture of my green card front and back do i still have to have them issue me a new one?

the $455 pricetag i sadly cant afford right especially when i spent all my money on the move i have nothing left for months and i have to see my sick mother in September 2022 and i doubt even if i get a new GC if it will even make it by then.

has anyone else had an issue with this?

i wish it didnt take so long for citizenships , its been 210 days now of waiting :(

Hi everyone,

My child is almost 17 and about to have her interview for ir2, she s about to start her senior year of highschool. I m trying to get a couple what if scenarios answered.

Let s say she gets her ir2 visa this fall, can she activate it at the border then come back upto Canada to resume the school year? Then go back to the US when she graduates in June?

I m not sure how the returning resident thing works and how long you can be out of the country without losing your GC.

Canadian citizen here. If I am in the US on a B2 tourist visa to visit my friends, and my employer files an I-129 with premium processing for O1-A, am I allowed to adjust status from B2 to O1A or will there be issues? Anyone here done it before?

I am a bit fearful that USCIS might think I lied about my original intention of B2. Does the 90-day wait apply even though O1-A is a non-immigrant visa?

Thanks.

My friend's I-140 petition through EB2 NIW has been approved since March 2022. She indicated that "Alien will apply for a visa abroad at a U.S. Embassy or consulate, Montreal, Canada" in the Part 4, Box 1, Section on the I-140 form, but USCIS did not automatically forwarded the approved I-140 to NVC. It has been 120 days.

She filed a service request with USCIS and received the following response:

Quote

We have received your service request and researched the status of your case. Our records indicate that on your case was approved. However, the approved petition and accompanying information was not sent to the National Visa Center (NVC). If the person, for whom you are petitioning, decides to apply for a visa outside the United States based on this petition, the petitioner must file Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, to request that we send the petition to the Department of State NVC. The NVC processes all approved immigrant visa petitions that require consular action. The NVC also determines which consular post is the appropriate consulate to complete visa processing. It will then forward the approved petition to that consulate.

She has raised a Service Request with CIS Ombudsman, which can take up to 30 days to respond, but is there anything else that can be done in the interim to speed up the process? Should she just pay the $465 fee and get it done with, even though it is an error on USCIS' part?

Just checking. Am I able to cross, activate my visa and then travel back to Canada a few times to pack up and move? I don t intend to import my car but will use it for a couple months to travel while I get settled.
