US Immigration from Canada

Hello,

I am in the process of filling out my N-400 form online under the three years of marriage time frame. In the section that it asks for all travel out of the US I was wondering about the following two questions:

1: I entered the US on a K1 Visa in March, 2017 and my green card was approved the following year in 2018. Do I include dates that I left the country that are between these two dates? Or only trips after the approval of the green card since I assume that's the date that I'm now considered a permanent resident?

2: Would I include trips prior to entering the US on my K1? I visited the US multiple times prior to entering on my K1 but I wasn't living in the US during those times.

Thank you!

Has anyone here had any recent success using the CIS Ombudsman to expedite their case such as EAD? According to the CIS Ombudsman website, they can help with Cases involving an emergency or a hardship that fall under USCIS expedite criteria.

Long story short I requested an expedite with USCIS on Sept 3rd, faxed proof of financial loss as requested by USCIS on Oct 1 and no response since then. I contacted my Senator s office who had been helping me since Oct 1 but it is going nowhere. My pending job offer expires on October 29th. I wanted to find out if anyone had any experience with the CIS Ombudsman. Thanks.

Hi!

I hope this is the right forum for this question. I don't collect SNAP benefits but my spouse and children do. I work full time and make decent money but she stays at home with our three kids so they (spouse and kids) are still eligible.

I unfortunately lost my green card. I read about there being a fee waiver and I think I am eligible. My question is regarding this passage on the fee waiver page:

"Relying primarily on public cash assistance for income maintenance can affect your eligibility for some immigration benefits, depending on the totality of the circumstances. You may be inadmissible to the United States (and therefore ineligible for certain immigration benefits like a Green Card) because you are more likely than not to become a public charge. You may also be deportable for already having become a public charge within 5 years of entering the United States for reasons that arose before you entered the country."

I entered the country in 2016 with no conditions on my green card (I had one previously). Should I be concerned about applying for a fee waiver?

Thank you! I'll try to reply promptly if you think you need more information in order to answer.

Hello,

Thank you for reading my post. I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

I just found out that I am pregnant and high-risk. I have my US immigration medical next week, followed by the US Immigration interview week after. I am very nervous about the X-ray situation and consulted doctors. They said I should be fine to get it done so long as I wear the lead shields.

If I successfully get my US Immigrant Visa (IR1/CR1) after the interview, I have 6 months to cross the border.

Because I am high risk, I need to start everything for the pregnancy in Canada, and I have read that once I cross into the US, I lose my Canadian residency and therefore my healthcare. My husband does not have an adequate health insurance plan nor the savings for the baby.

I have no idea what to do at this point! The pregnancy is short of a miracle as I wasn't expected to conceive. I was involved in a major car crash in NJ 2 years ago while visiting my husband.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

I would be so grateful for any words of advice.

Thank you.

I ve just returned from a maximum stay in the US (3 months, time given through discretion from the border guard because of my pending visa), and I was wondering when it is suitable to return and visit again? I returned October 2021 and am hoping to visit for Christmas, 2021.

any help is welcome!
