US Immigration from Canada

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I've been reading some conflicting information online.

I'm currently in the K1 process and waiting for an interview at the Montreal consulate. For the last two years, I've worked at one of the most busiest organizations in Canada that has a lot of direct involvement with Covid-19. As a result of this, and the delays/stresses of the K1 process, I've become very burnt out and depressed. To top it off, my fianc left today after visiting for a week, and I am absolutely broken. I don't have a family doctor, and would likely have to go to the emergency room to get a note to take sick leave from work.

However, I am concerned that taking this leave could impact my eligibility to receive a K1 visa. Is there any truth to this concern, or am I just better to suck it up and continue as is?

Any help is appreciated.

Hi there,

My job offer has a clause that I must demonstrate work authorization in the US through e-verify by Oct 29, 2021. Can you please help me navigate the steps after EAD approval.

1. My SSN was issued 10 years ago with a notation Valid only with DHS work authorization when I had an L1A but quit that job and left the US to return to Canada several years ago. I never used this SSN ever since then. Question: Do I need to get a new SSN?

2. My SSN has my maiden name on it but my EAD will have my married name on it (eg Angelina Jolie in SSN but Angelina Pitt in EAD). Question: Do I have to go to SSA to change my name or DHS will transmit the info directly to SSA? I did not apply or give my old SSN in my I-765 as I could not locate it back then (wrote a comment under Other info that I could not locate it as SSA offices were closed but will locate it at a later time when SSA opens to the public etc).

I am on a tight timeline and with the delays in SSA, do you have any advice on how I can demonstrate work authorization in e-verify? I believe my DHS info will not match with SSA info so it will return a TNC (tentative non-confirmation). Any advice from anyone who went through the same experience is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Has anyone traveled back to Canada recently and being vaccinated I want to know if we can still cross the land border without the vacine ??? Thanks guys!

This one has me stumped:

K1 visa approved. The petitioner has previous criminal convictions. Petitioner also has current charges (felony and misdemeanor) pending trial.

Foreign fianc e arrives, and marries petitioner within 90 days. Files for AoS.

Trial for the current charges occurs during the AOS waiting period. Petitioner is convicted of all charges and is being held until sentencing (later this year).

What happens to the foreign spouse (K1 recipient)?

Hi there,

If I bring a letter confirming treatment of a past syphilis infection to my panel physician exam, do they still mark it as 'Class B' or is it No Class since it's already been treated?

The RPR test shows low level of antibodies for life, even after successful treatment. The 'Class B' thing stresses me out.

Wondering if anyone has been in the same or similar boat?

Thanks.
