US Immigration from Canada

My medical is with Dr Cheema about a month from now. I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety and in 2019 I had two suicide attempts. I was never hospitalized for these (they were minor), I had another time when I had suicidal thoughts and voluntarily went to a mental health clinic (they never actually admitted me) I haven't had any thoughts of self-harm or attempts since around that time. I was on anti-depressants for a few months and had counseling a couple of times around then, but a few months after taking the antidepressants (2019), I stopped taking them and haven't had any treatment since.

I've changed my lifestyle completely since then and I haven't struggled with depression in a few years. Will I have any problems at the medical?

I'll be getting a note from my family doctor, what should I ask her to include on the note? Is there any other proof I should try to get to prove that I'm not a harm to myself?

Can anyone with a similar past share their experience at the medical exam?

Any advice or reassurance is very appreciated!

Hi

We applied for US visit here in Toronto, but there is a long waiting list ( almost 2 years!). Is there a way to

shorten the wait time? We have tried to re-schedule, but system is not giving us any options.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello!

I moved to the US from Canada after marrying a US citizen back in 2015. I'm currently a green card holder and eligible for citizenship. I didn't change my name on anything at that time, including my immigration documents, drivers license and social security card, nor my Canadian passport.

I'm now at a point where I'd like to take my husbands name officially but i'm so lost on where to even begin. I'm open to becoming a US citizen and changing my name for immigration purposes at that time, but do i need to do anything at a local point?

I signed my name on my marriage certificate as my maiden name. Is that all that is needed to change my name with SSN? What about SoS? Do I need to change it with USCIS before I do the previous?

And what about filing with the local courts?

Does anyone have insight as to what, if anything I need to do to update things in Canada?

And I worry to about not being able to travel during this potentially long processing period.

any help appreciated.

Im looking for folks who had interviews at the Montreal consulate on April 16, 2024.
