US Immigration from Canada

Hi, I am the petitioner for my Canadian husband that came over on a K1 visa. We got married and filed for the AOS. We received an RFE for a long form birth certificate (which he had no idea was even a thing). We ordered one, and long story short, his dad's birth year on my husband's long form birth certificate was incorrect (his mother put the year my husband was born as his father's birth year). We applied for a correction for his long form birth certificate, but due to all sorts of issues (we LITERALLY have the worst luck ) the correction STILL is pending and we had run out of time to submit the RFE (including the extension due to COVID). We ended up submitting back the RFE with the long form birth certificate containing the error, along with a letter pointing it out, and copies of all the submitted paperwork to get his father's birth year corrected. My question is if anyone has ever experienced something similar? Did the AOS get denied and you have to refile? Or could they possibly still accept it as long as we have the correct form on hand at the time of the interview? I'm absolutely devastated that this has happened and the prospect that we will probably have to start the AOS all over again and endure another 8+ months of being the only one working.

Hi all, my husband is Canadian and came to the US on a K1 visa and we married and filed the AOS/EAD. I live in Florida and receive a homestead tax exemption on my house/property. I got notice that I need to re-file and include my husband on it, and it requires a SSN, which he does not have. The form states that he must be on it even if he is not on the mortgage. We tried applying for a SSN and got an appointment with the office, only to have them turn us away because his I-94 was expired. Is there any way around this? We also applied for a EAD expedite (which would also give the SSN) for substantial financial loss, and after more than 3 months they denied it. We tried to reapply for the expedite and they said we were not eligible. Any ideas?? :(

Do you have any experience or advice on how to use the I-601 waiver to exempt from vaccination requirements? In the I-601 form Section 212(g)(2)(C), it says you must establish with evidence that you are opposed to vaccinations in any form, that your objection is based on religious beliefs or moral convictions, and that your convictions are sincere. What is your experience with the vaccination requirements and the I-601 waiver?

Hello - just about to concurrently file for I-130, I-485, I-864, I-131 and I-765. Please take a look and let me know if I am missing anything. I am adjusting from TN status after marrying a US citizen.

Also, I am mailing this package to the USCIS Phoenix Lockbox, is that correct? I thought every AOS package went to Chicago, but when I look online at this website https://www.uscis.gov/forms/all-forms/direct-filing-addresses-for-form-i-485-application-to-register-permanent-residence-or-adjust-status it looks like people from Colorado would file in Phoenix. Or am I reading this wrong?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read through this.

(I don't really know the right place to put this, so I'm sorry if this isn't it.)

My fianc filed for my K1 application back in August (yay!) but throughout the whole I've done a lot of research on different things regarding the K1 process and I have a couple of questions that I can't find a clear answer on.

1. What family preference does the K1 fall under?
I remember when the new preference categories came out due to COVID, there was something that mentioned it was part of the F2A category, but I can't find this information again and I wanted to confirm I'm looking at the right boxes when looking at the visa bulletin.

2. This is the big one: We intended to have a ceremony in Canada, we knew that we wouldn't be able to sign a marriage license or complete the legal marriage process in Canada but we wanted to include my family and enjoy the wedding portion of this process. With that in mind we had planned on having a small courthouse wedding when I arrived in the US after our approval where we would complete the legal paperwork and make things official.
However I've since read that even anything that looks like marriage, without any legality to it, could leave me subject to denial of entry.

I wanted to know how true this is, and what any recommendations might be (outside of the obvious).

[If it's true we would just have the reception/celebration in Canada and take pictures with family and avoid anything that looks like a ceremony, then have a small ceremony in the US instead.]

Thanks in advance for the responses!
