US Immigration from Canada

Hello VJ,

Man does time fly, it seems like just yesterday I was going through the K1 process. Well, fast fwd 11 yrs.. I am coming to the VJ community for help once again. Looking to start the citizenship process and am looking to be pointed in the right direction. As a green card holder do I need to file for an adjustment of status? Or a brand new N400? So many questions, looking for some guidance.

Little info about myself, current green card holder, originally from a K1 visa. still married, 11 yrs later, not wanting to renew my green card again.

Thanks in advance

Hello Everyone,

I attended the IR1 Interview in Montreal, Canada on February 4, 2022. All was in order, except that the medical panel had not submitted one document.

Due to the missing document, my case was assigned the status of Refused, for administrative processing.

I arranged for the medical office near Toronto to submit the final medical document the very next day, February 5, 2022.

I check the status frequently, and although it shows as having been updated once in March and once in April, it always still shows as Refused.

I sent two inquiry emails to the consulate in March and April respectively to which they did reply, but in both cases the reply was simply that I was in a queue waiting to be reviewed by an officer, and that they would notify me when it had been reviewed.

It has now been 14 weeks since the submission of my final missing document.

Has anyone else had this experience, and does anyone have any sense of how long one can wait in Refused, Admin Processing status?

Any experience or comments welcome;

Thanks

We received NOA1 on April 21, 2021 and are still waiting for NOA2. It's almost 13 months now. Anyone else waiting this long???

Hi everyone,

We submitted the AOS and did the wet ink for the signature. We typed the date though next to the signature. Is this going to pose a problem? Or are they looking for a hand written date as well?? Im panicking! Thanks

Hi. Do I understand correctly that a green card holder has to wait 5 years, or 3 years if marriage to a us citizen?

Also, as I am now in the i751 rfe state, and hoping i will get approved , does the green card date mean the date when my first conditional green card was issued, or, in the event I get my conditions removed, will it be this new approval date? (I.e. when would my 3 year time frame start?)

Thanks.
