US Immigration from Canada

Hi

My friend wants to visit the USA from Canada. In the past, she had some immigration issues but was never deported; she just received an exclusion order. After some time, she managed to regain her permanent resident status. How should she respond to the questions on the US visa application? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

I am a Canadian citizen residing in Canada with my spouse. Recently, my son filed an I-130 petition on behalf of both of us, and I'm pleased to inform you that our petition has been approved. As I am currently in the process of gathering the necessary documentation to proceed with my visa application, I have encountered a question regarding the requirement for a police certificate.

The authorities have requested a police certificate from my home country, as well as from the countries where I have resided since 1995. Since I have been living outside of my home country for an extended period, I am unsure about the specific information required for the police certificate.

Could you please provide guidance or share a sample template outlining what needs to be included in the police certificate? Any assistance you could offer in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I am a current GC holder by marriage. I received my GC in 2015, and ROC in 2018. I am finally getting around to applying for citizenship. I have started an application on the USCIS website, and I selected 3 year rule since I received my GC through marriage. But looking through this forum it seems like I can choose between the 3 and 5 year rules. Is one better/easier than the other? My application is not submitted yet, but I've already uploaded evidence for our marriage. Would it look suspicious if I changed it to a 5 year and deleted my uploads?

Hello, we recently received an update on our I-129F case saying the following " your case was sent to the Department of State for visa processing. You can find general information on Consular Processing by visiting our website at www.uscis.gov . The website will provide information on what to do next, who to contact, and how to inform us of any changes in your situation or address."

So what does this actually mean, is it approved? Hence it is sent for visa processing? We thought it would say one of the three Approved/Rejected or Denial.

Isn't it suppose to be sent to NVC?

What are we to do next? and what should we expect in the next coming weeks/months?

Thank you~

My I751 got approved much much earlier than expected yesterday. I had planned to travel by land to Canada this weekend, leaving tomorrow and returning on Tuesday.

My approval letter says, "You should not travel outside the United States until you receive your new Green Card, as you may have difficulty reentering the United States. If an emergency arises and you have a need to travel outside the United States before you receive your Green Card, you may make an appointment at your local USCIS office to request an I-551 stamp in your passport that shows temporary evidence of status as a lawful permanent resident."

If I return to the border with my extension letter and expired green card, will CBP allow me to enter. I have no idea if I will be able to get the stamp today.

We have hotels booked and my mother in law is travelling to us today from NYC, and then we drive together tomorrow to Canada. So I really don't want to cancel the trip...

Would really like to hear from people in similar situation who successfully managed to return without the stamp...
