US Immigration from Canada

My EAD and AP document have been approved and mailed to me, arriving on Monday! Will my Social security number be included? Or Is there something I have to do to get my SSN number.

thanks!

When researching the K1 process, I see a lot of people mentioning that different embassies tend to be tougher than others. In the tougher embassies, more and better evidence tends to be required for both the I-129F (proof of having met within the last two years) and the visa interview (proof of bona fide relationship).

How does the Montreal embassy slot into the spectrum of strictness? I would guess that it would be pretty lenient, just because I don't imagine there's much immigration fraud coming from Canada. But it would make me a lot more comfortable to hear from people who know first-hand what to expect.

My concern stems from the fact that, despite being with my girlfriend for 4 years and her driving across the border from Buffalo to visit me in Canada on weekly basis, we actually don't have much in the way of evidence for either the I-129F or the visa stage. Passports don't get stamped at the CAN/US border; we never go on vacation (so no hotels, entertainment tickets, etc.); I've always hated having pictures taken; we don't use Facebook; we never split bills when we pay for stuff; chat logs don't seem like good evidence of anything because there's no proof it's her on the other side of the screen; and so on.

There are certainly things I can seek out to create such concrete evidence, especially for the I-129F proof of meeting within 2 years. But how much evidence I need to create depends a lot on how strict I should expect the embassy to be.

So, for anyone who's gone through the K1 process in Canada (or somehow knows a lot about it), what sort of evidentiary standards should I be expecting to meet, roughly?

Thanks!

Hi Everyone -

So I got married in March 2020 and as such changed my last name in my home country - my last name was changed on my drivers license but I haven't changed it on my Canadian passport.

In starting my GC process, I filed it using my maiden name - I am now going for my Biometrics appointment this month; My Canadian Passport has my Maiden last name and so does my application with USCIS for AOS

My questions are: 1) I'd like to change my last name on my AOS application to my marriage last name , can this be done at my Bio appointment?

2) Since my last name on my Canadian Passport is still my maiden name , how will this affect my travels at the Point of Entry; Different name on passport vs GC

Thanks in advance

I have to fill out I-9's many many times per year because of the nature of my project based work. Once my Green Card is beyond its expiration date and I'm using the 18-month extension letter:

Do I still use the expiration date printed on the GC when I fill out the I-9?

Or do I add 18 months to the date on the GC?

Thanks!

Hello,

I received my interview interview appointment at the Montreal Ambassy for September 13 and in the first stee they ask ''Register your interview appointment online with our free courier service before attending the visa interview''. I folowed the link filled out all the field and on my case number it says is not ready for an appointment ? Anyone experienced this ? I didn't think any chances and email their support at the provided email which is canada_contactus+ca+ivcasenumber+en@visaops.net included the subject they wanted, filled what they needed but I never got an ackowledgement from their email system that they got it, is it normal ? Did I mess up or I just wait ?
