US Immigration from Canada

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to see if anyone has used a lawyer in Honolulu or know of anyone they'd recommend?

I filed for I-751 lifting of conditions back in June 2018 and I received a notice that is a little.. concerning?

I've been able to handle all immigration applications myself but this is a situation I'd rather have professional help with.

Thank you for all help, and hope all of you are safe and healthy!

My husband (US petitioner) applied for the I-130 online august 20th, 2020. A few weeks later, since I was already here in FL

with him I decided to AOS and mailed in the rest of the forms. I received receipt notices for all

However today we received a I-797 Notice of Action stating the I-130 has been approved and that my husband needs to log on to pay

the affidative of support fee (120$) and I need to pay the IV application processing fee (325$)...

Sorry I am just a little confused... do I go ahead and pay these fees and continue with the next steps? (I thought this was if I was returning back to Canada for a visa)

I thought the next step was going to be a biometrics appointment since I decided to AOS..

any Info would be helpful!!

thanks!

Hi,

I am awaiting the CR/IR-1 interview in Montreal this December. My husband and I were married since 2018 and my husband filed tax return in 2018 separately.

However, we decided to file jointly in 2019 and then the pandemic hit. I could not travel to US to file ITIN ( which requires your passport to file ITIN). My husband filed the tax return extension for 2019.

I do have my husband's W2, pay stubs, and evidence of tax extension request. Are those enough to bring for the interview?

Hi,

I spoke with a USCIS agent today via live chat, but it took all morning even to get basic questions answered. I haven't found any forum post that addresses this directly, so just for your information, in case your situation is similar:

- If your biometrics appointment location is at a significant distance from where you are situated;

- If you want to know if it will be open the day of your appointment ;

- If there is inclement weather;

Then check the following webpage: https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/uscis-office-closings

I see that the appointment itself will automatically be rescheduled in such a case, but it is helpful to be able to check on this site the morning of, to see if the center will actually be open.

Hi there,

We just got our NOA this past Saturday for a Biometrics appointment on December 24th at 3 p.m. We were very surprised at this; didn't know they are working on the afternoon of Christmas Eve.

They say I need only bring the appointment notice, my passport, and a driver's license. Will they accept a Canadian driver's license?

Just wanted to make sure I show up with all necessary documentation and not be turned away. I went to the Michigan Secretary of State Office to get a Michigan driver's license last summer, but they needed a social-security number from me, and I won't have that until I get at least an EAD.

I tried calling USCIS's 1-800 number this morning to reach someone, but they are almost impossible to reach. Hence my asking here... will the documentation I plan on bringing be enough.

Thanks!
