US Immigration from Canada

Some news from the UK, it seems that the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer (Finance Minister), and Member of Parliament for 7 years admitted that he had LPR Status in the US. It looks like he had to give it up on his first trip to the US in an official capacity, my guessing that he was ineligible for A-1 diplomatic status while being an LPR...but I'm wondering, how the was he getting away with maintaining LPR status while obviously not living in the US, being an MP and also a member of the government for so long?

Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

Hello everyone!

I am so incredibly grateful to have recently become an American citizen.

I have a petition for my husband (F2A) that has been DQ'ed since September 2020; that I can now have upgraded to IR-1. I can't find the exact process to do that. There is an old thread on this topic but the link shared there no longer works. Anyone can help?

Thank you!

Yay...it's over. After 24 months and 26 days, I'm officially American. I did take on my husbands name with this certificate. My drivers license is in my former name. Do I need to go change it right away? I still have all my other ID in my old last name. Also, do I have to update my social security number and if so how is that done?

Anything else to do?

Hi there,

I noticed in the scans on the USCIS portal that my law clerk wrote the name of the petitioner with a small typo on the outer envelope that held our individual I-130 photos (they wrote first name Kieth instead of Keith). All the official I-130 forms and supporting documents were spelled correctly as we had double checked. It's suuuuuper minor, but my paranoia makes me worry that someone would type that into the system with the typo.

Is that at all a possibility? Should I write in to have it corrected and/or verify?

The USCIS portal does have the name correctly entered, but wondering if it could be entered anywhere else (i.e. CEAC/NVC or at the consulate) now or at a later stage?

Thanks for your advice!

Hey all. I'm familiar with the timelines showing the various dates for people (filing, biometrics, interview, oath). But I'm trying to figure out how long on average it's taken to find out when your interview is after your biometrics appointment. (i.e. How long til receiving notice of the interview date)

My wife had her bio. appointment in LA on 4/4 and based on timelines we're guessing her interview could fall late May when we already had a special trip planned. Obviously we will cancel/ change dates if need be but it'd be great to know sooner than later! Any clues?
