US Immigration from Canada

Just had my N400 interview at the Portland OR field office. Appointment at 9am, they let me bring my coffee inside, started at 9:20am.

Got the six questions including the Federalist Papers one that I don't think a single American knows the answer to. Went through the rest of the form. I did end up mentioning my red light camera ticket I got after I applied, got a chuckle, we moved on.

Got to see the entirety of my USCIS history and it was like four inches tall. I'm sure some of yours will be even higher. Jarring.

At the end, I was asked if I wanted to do the oath right then and there. I said of course. The officer reminded me that I'll have to surrender my green card so I better not have any immediate travel booked. No ma'am. Took the oath in the same interview room, told to go downstairs and wait for my certificate. 20 minutes later, got my certificate and I'm now a US citizen!

Super easy and no games. Everyone was super nice. Within an hour literally the whole process was completed and you're done with USCIS!

Good luck everyone!

Hi everyone,

My husband accepted a job transfer state side for work (same company). We got his sister to joint sponsor me just incase because of domicile and in case we ran into any issues that all his income the last few years were Canadian. He just got his first US paycheck. Should I upload it onto NVC? Or leave it as is for the interview.

We submitted his 2018, 2019 and 2020 taxes and Canadian equivalent of W2, and included a letter explaining that 2021 hasnt been filed yet due to extension of June 15 as he was out of the country and that we will provide it as soon as we have it.

We submitted his sisters 2019, 2020, 2021 Tax statements and W2s, and one of her latest paystubs for her documents.

Should we still send in his first US paystub? Or should it be OK as is considering we haven't a joint sponsor. Im just hesitant since we submitted our documents second week of April, and they're starting to process those at the beginning of April now.

We just received the RFE on the I864 that states all the same things as the usual, ie household size etc. I am super worried because we filled that all out right but now seeing it is after tax time they want the tax transcript for this year. He was late filing it and has some issues because his ex wife claimed both kids when she was only supposed to claim one. We have to amend it and that could take longer than the due date for the RFE. Can we send a copy of the tax refund as is including all w2 1099 etc plus a letter from his current employer? I know I only have one shot at this RFE and I am freaking out!

Hello,

I am the beneficiary from Canada and my partner (petitioner) is in the US. We are June 2022 filers and received our NOA1 on June 3rd, 2022. Our payment was already cashed.

My question is - we filled out question 38 on the i-129f regarding the i-94 even though I had LEFT the United States when my partner filed our petition. We did this because we followed the instructions packet very closely, in which it stated to provide the date of the most recent i-94. We must have missed the actual sentence on the form that said to fill it out if the beneficiary was currently in the US.

I have been looking at many, many different posts and have come across how others have had the same issue and were also confused by this. My question is, has anyone been accepted by providing the i94 despite the beneficiary not being in the US? Will this cause a major problem?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone had any recommendations on a bank or financial institution to use when wiring large amounts of money from a Canadian bank to a US bank? We plan on selling our house before moving and would like to wire the entire proceeds received from the sale, as well as our existing CAD balances to a US bank. Thanks.
