US Immigration from Canada

Hi I grew up in the US on an expired 6 month visa. My family never took care of my paper work. I was deported in the early 2000s. My 10 year bar is over. Can I return to the USA? My 10 year bar has ended over 5 years ago. I am now a Canadian citizen as of last year.

Will I have a hard time because my visa expired as a kid and I was deported?

Thank you.

Hi all!

I'm currently under permanent resident status through a K1 Visa, waiting for additional correspondence from the USCIS on my next steps. The last communication I received from them basically said "we are pretty busy right now, so here's an extension and we will get back to you". This happened shortly after my successful petition for Removal of Conditions in early 2018.

My town is currently under a variance to the Public Lockdown Order in Colorado, meaning we have been doing good at managing caseload. However this month our numbers doubled and we are being told that if things don't improve in the next two weeks, we will lose our variance.

During national lockdown between March and June 2020, my company kept everyone employed and paid over that entire time, which was awesome. They're now telling us that should our store shut down, that may not be possible again.

What are my options for filing for unemployment as a permanent resident? I've done some basic research and determined that its technically 0possible, but I'm worried about running afoul of the USCIS filing for a public benefit.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you everyone!

My I-751 was accepted, but I'm wondering if I erred in not sending my change of name certificate. Has anyone changed their name prior to the marriage/unrelated to the marriage, and received an RFIE for not documenting it?

I was born as First LastA, and changed my name to First LastB when I turned 18. I have a copy of the change of name certificate. I married my spouse in the US, and adjusted my status based on the marriage; I left my name as First LastB (i.e. didn't take his last name). My green card, driver's license, and passport (and all other documents I sent for ROC) have my last name as LastB. Since we didn't need to send my birth certificate (which has LastA), I didn't think to send the change of name records.

However, I did put LastA, my birth last name, under Other Names Used. Should I have sent supporting documentation for this? Or is the fact that I was approved under my current legal name good enough? To clarify, LastB is not my husband's last name, it's entirely unrelated.

Just wondering if I'll be receiving an RFE soon...

Hello, I'm not sure the best place to ask this so I'll ask in multiple forums. I scoured the existing forums on J1's and I-129f's/K1's but nothing quite fit our situation.

I am an American engaged to a Canadian, we filed our I-129f at the beginning of August and await the NOA-2. My fianc had an approved and ready to use DS2019 for work as a summer camp counselor in 2020 (while we were just dating) that was not used as the camp cancelled their program due to Covid-19. The agency which handled his J1 are rolling over all visas to be usable for the 2021 summer. I am curious if anyone knows whether it is possible for him to still use this J1 (technically still a DS2019) for summer 2021, even though there is an ongoing I-129f petition for immigration. I'm assuming that the interview stage of our visa will happen sometime in the fall of 2021, and so we would likely already have our NOA-2 by next summer, but waiting for the final interview step. He spent quite a bit of money and effort into getting the DS2019/J1 and would love to be able to still experience working at camp this next summer as his visa is technically still viable, however, we really don't want to cause any problems for our I-129f or K1.

Thank you for any help on this topic!

Hello all! I am the beneficiary for the K1 visa and I have just recently gotten a new job. We are currently awaiting our NOA2 (NOA1 was March 24) and was wondering if I had to contact someone and change my workplace on the I-29F form. I'm not sure if it actually matters but I would hate to get an RFE just because I no longer work where I claimed was my current employer.
