US Immigration from Canada

Hey all,

So I just got approved for my NEXUS today (woo!) after an extremely long wait of 14 months to get an interview plus 3 years of waiting to become eligible due to the CBSA's residency requirement for PR's! So, I'm a PR of Canada and the US, due to living in the US and working in Canada. It doesn't seem to be documented anywhere but yes, having PR in both countries is no problem for NEXUS, nor is having the 2 year conditional green card. The biggest hurdle was walking through the officer with all my updated info as I originally applied before I moved to the US and became a LPR, but outside of that it was an easy and smooth approval. I also mentioned to both CBP and CBSA that I had a pending citizenship application in Canada and they mentioned for me to come back once I had the Canadian passport.

Hopefully this info will be of use to other members here looking to do the same!

Edit: Ooops, this was posted in the wrong board, mods, please move this to the Canada Regional Sub-Forum. Thanks!

In the i-90 to renew green card.

In the section Your immigration information.

Where did you apply for your immigrant visa or adjustment of status?

Where was your immigrant visa or adjustment of status issued?

Hi all,

I got an email that my I-130 petition was approved! Noticed, however, that the address on the letter was written: "Toronto, XX" instead of "Toronto, ON". I'm assuming it's because the XX is typically a U.S. state.

Has anyone who's received a letter internationally recently noticed that as well? Where the state is usually is written as "XX"? The province is listed correctly on the USCIS website, too.

Thanks.

After you arrived here in USA with your PR Card, how many months did it take until you found work? What work did you find and what work are you currently doing?

Hello,

Can you do the medical in the US while visiting? Or does it have to be done in your country?

The nearest place for me to get the medical is about a 13 hour plane ride. I can make the appt a week before my interview but if I can avoid having to stay in Montreal for a week, I will if I can!

I ll be visiting my husband in the US next month and was wondering if I could get it done there and then send the results to Montreal?
