US Immigration from Canada

Hello Everyone,

I just received my notice to appear for Interview yesterday and is scheduled on March 31, 2022.

My mom was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer, and I have planned to take a trip to the homeland to provide support on her chemo. I had also applied for FMLA so i could stay out of work longer than my PTO allows. My FMLA is already approved

My trip will be on April 21 to May 29.

I am confused whether I should take the interview or call to reschedule or just go and request my oath taking after my trip (if this is even possible) as I heard oath taking can be same day if approved on the spot.

It's a bit complicated to change my FMLA as well. As much as I really want this interview, my mom's life and chemo journey is also very important to me.

I even attempted to write to the officers regarding my trip and uploaded it to the website stating that if they are ready to schedule me, if they could do it after June 1 and provided them my travel dates (It was a long shot but worth a try)

Any thoughts? Not sure which is the best route:

1) Take the interview, see if I am eligible for same day Oath and apply for expedited passport

2) Take the interview, request to schedule oath after my return if i cannot do it same day (if this is even possible)

3) Call now to reschedule

If applying online, right before starting I-130 application it is stated:

Documents you may need

The following is a list of documents everyone filing this form must provide:

• 2x2 passport photograph
• Birth certificate (with English translation, if needed)
• Proof of citizenship or lawful resident status
• Proof of family relationship

We will automatically inform you which documents and additional evidence you may need to provide as you fill out your application. These recommendations for additional information will be based on the information you provide in the application, such as your personal history, family, and circumstances.

I assume it is beneficiary's photo that is required.

On the other hand, I-130 pdf paper form instructions does not list photograph as required.

For those who applied online, did you scan and included 2x2 passport photograph?

Thank you.

While unmarried adult (21+) child is visiting US citizen parents in US, is it possible to petition concurrently I-130, I-485, I-131 (AP) and I-765 (EAD)?

The child did not enter USA with intention to immigrate.

Thank you.

Hi Everyone,

Does anybody have experience or know if I can renew my NEXUS (TTP- Trusted Traveler Program of CBP) while my Adjustment of Status is pending? I am on AOS from B2. I received a renewal notice that my Global Entry/NEXUS be renewed in March or I will lose it. It expired after 5 years. I'd like to keep it as it will be helpful to travel either by plane or car once I have my green card. I'd like to know if I am still qualified with TTP while I am waiting in purgatory

Thanks.

I received my filing receipt yesterday and we are excited to be "in the system". Filing package was sent to TSC. Receipt number begins with IOE. Is there any way to tell which service center will process the file?
