US Immigration from Canada

This summer my spouse and I will be visiting Canada. My spouse is a green card holder with a pending I-751 and Canadian citizenship/passport. I am a Us citizen.

In the past we used the MPC App (mobile passport control) for US Pre-clearance at Toronto Pearson airport no issues

However now that the physical green card is expired and has the I-751 receipt with the 4 year extension when we scan the green card into the MPC it shows expired and we can t continue in the app.

While the I-751 is pending are we NOT able to use the MPC app?

I'm trying to re-apply for citizenship and I'm still running into an issue with the 3 months in the same state proof. Maybe someone has been in my situation and can help me.

I have been living at the same address for over 10 years at this point, but I get my mail delivered to a PO box. It seems to me I need proof from my home address, is that correct?

In addition, I don't have anything in my name and it seems they want utility bills and lease agreements. Does anyone have any idea what I could send instead of those?

Thank you so much, I really appreciate any reply and/or advice.

Hi all. My husband and I completed the immigration process for our case and I crossed the border the day after our 2 year wedding anniversary. April 13th. But, when I try log onto our USCIS account it says "Sent to Department of State" and then "case closed". So, how are we supposed to see when the GC has been sent out? We have no idea. Is there another place we can go to? I'm not even sure they caught the CR-1 to IR-1 change....Any insight would be most appreciated.

My wife and I are working on the Affidavits of Support necessary for her to sponsor me, the beneficiary. She did not earn enough in recent years to sponsor me so her dad has agreed to be my sole joint sponsor and he alone makes well over the requirement for his household size plus me. My question is about what information we should provide for my wife s affidavit, which I know is less important since her dad s will be very straightforward as he has earned a consistent amount for the last three years and we have his tax return transcripts in order. For 2022 and 2023 she did not work and has verifications of non-filing for these years (which I have read may not be necessary). However, in 2024 she worked for ~4 months and made a few thousand dollars and filed her taxes accordingly and she started a different job about three months ago which she is still working and plans to continue to work.

We put her current position and place of employment down under Part 6. Sponsor's Employment and Income on her form, but I m not sure what to put under her current individual annual income since I know they normally want 6 months of paystubs or a letter from her employer about her projected salary if she hasn't filed taxes for that job yet. I don t know if it would seem like we were misrepresenting her current income if we just put her total income from last year when she briefly worked her previous job since she has already surpassed that this year.

I assume we should check No for Have you filed a Federal income tax return for each of the three most recent tax years? , then put zeros (or is it N/A?) under 16.b. and 16.c., then should we also click the box by I was not required to file a Federal income tax return as my income was below the IRS required level and I have attached evidence to support this. and provide her verifications of non-filing?

I have read that some people just retroactively file their taxes for previous years with their income as zero to make this simpler but I think my wife had to file hers via mail this year because I don t have an SSN which I assume would be the same issue if we tried to do her previous years.

Also, should we be filling out Part 7. Use of Assets to Supplement Income ? Because it only says to skip it if your household helps you to meet the requirement and I don t see anything about joint sponsors here. I know she won t meet the requirement on her form alone regardless, We re just not sure how incomplete we should leave it.

We also made notes under Additional Information stating for page 7 part 6.b. and 6.c. Not required to file that year. Income too low.

I know we re probably overthinking this since the joint sponsor is straightforward and my wife s affidavit won t pass the requirements anyway but we still aren t totally certain what to submit. We would hate for an oversight on this part of our application to cause issues or delays.

Thanks!

I'm on an L1B visa in the US currently since September 2024. My wife, a US green card holder, filed my I-130 (F2A) in Feb 2023, before I moved to the US for work. I'm still waiting on that I-130 approval. I am a Canadian citizen and was wondering if it'd better to do AOS now that I'm here, rather than wait for NVC?

Since my wife doesn't work, we are depending on my income to satisfy I-864 requirements. My thinking is that it'd be easier to do that via AOS rather than the NVC and the consulate in Montreal?
