US Immigration from Canada

I double checked my filing and my address, phone, and email are correct. It's been 90+ days since my filing has been received, yet I have not received any NOA's or Online Access Code, even though my attorney has received several.

I requested one on the USCIS site, and provided all the requested details (which form I filed, my full name (same as on filing), A-number, phone number, Zip code and notice/case #. A few minutes after submitting, I get an automatic response stating my request was declined because they were unable to validate my identity.

I tried requesting a second time, but using my attorney's zip code, and a few minutes later, I got an email response asking me to contact the USCIS Contact Center Technical Help, which took me to the USCIS Emma chat, I picked the option to speak with a live agent, explained my situation as above, confirmed my contact info and said someone would contact me within 7 days...... 2 minutes later, I get another notification telling me to contact the USCIS Contact Center Technical Help to confirm my full name, A-number, receipt number, form number, and date of birth (all of which they have already been provided...)

Has anyone else gone through this?

Hello!!

I'm starting a space for April filers since I didn't spot one yet.

I filed on April 1st by mail (entered via fiance visa 2016) and will do my best to update with progress here to help out with info and help us all wait more patiently haha.

Good luck everyone

My parent's have their IR-5 interviews coming up in a week. Montreal takes months to book interviews so their DS-260's were completed in October and November of 2024. They traveled to the U.S. to visit us for Christmas. Which means, that trip is not listed on the DS-260 we submitted last year since it didn't happen yet. Also, I have new W-2's but not a new tax return transcript (since April 15 is tax return day, and April 9 is their interview, so that new tax return isn't due yet and the most current tax year I assume is still 2023 since 2024 isn't due until April 15).

Do we need to try to upload these additional documents? Can we even do that since the DS-260 is locked? Or do they simply have to let the consulate know that since the DS-260 was submitted, and how long between that and the given interview date, they have travelled to the U.S. again once, and this is their daughter's news W-2/pay stubs?

Would appreciate the advice so they don't have a smooth sailing interview and we are prepared/proactive on all the things that could randomly come up... thanks!

Forgive my ignorance if this has been posted, but is there actually a list of the visa types aside from "visitors to the US staying more than 30 days" that have to register with USCIS? Is it a blanket requirement? Are dual intent visa holders required to register?

I ask because I mentioned to my friend with a TN visa that I believe he needs to register because it's a non-immigrant visa stay in excess of 30 days. He was going to verify with his corporate lawyers because he assumed that as an employment visa, he was exempt.

Simply curious.

Hi all,

Apologies if this is the wrong category for this question but I'm married to a Canadian and we applied for the CR-1 on August 2024. Since then, he's come to visit and has been here since November 2024 (132 days ago today).

He was supposed to go home in January but decided to extend his trip until April since he's allowed to be here for 182 days. As for finances, he freelances when he's home in Canada (not doing work in USA don't worry :-) he has savings and I make enough to support us both).

We would like for him to stay until May since that's the final 6 months that's allowed. My question is, will this impact our CR-1 application if he stays for this long? As per the new executive order, we did register here: https://www.uscis.gov/alienregistration but since he's Canadian he's supposedly exempt from fingerprinting but at least has to make an account and register.

Thanks for any advice!
