US Immigration from Canada

Hi everyone,

We were granted an expedite from the Montreal embassy, but haven t heard anything in weeks. Our situation is quite urgent so I m anxiously seeking information.
I understand Montreal sends ILs in batches and I m curious if the Feb batch have gone out yet?

Hello! I am awaiting IL after expedite request has been accepted.
hoping to be in the February batch of letters.

has anyone received an IL this month?

thanks for sharing!!

1. Is grant deed along with mortgage and homeowner's insurance enough proof for new property we both purchased? I am the conditional resident and my name is only displayed as first and last name on these docs. I have a middle name as well which is my maiden last name but is not displayed on these docs, would that be a problem. Do I need to mention anything in the cover letter?

2. Me and my spouse have joint bank account since we got married before filling AOS, I just realized that the bank account shows my maiden name and not married name, would that be an issue? I am going to try and get a letter from bank saying we hold joint account since xyz date with both our full names on it if possible. All the previous joint account state are with maiden name would that cause issue!?

3. Have all utlity bills but on some of those the bills it just has my name without middle name. Under the account authorized user is where I can see spouse name. Would bills in my name without middle name and account details page to show spouse name be good for submission. Should I only submit utility bills if they have both names.

4. Docs like license, passport, ssn, tax, medical insurance has full name so hoping that should be enough.

Appreciate your response and feedback.

Hi,

Canadian Citizen, Moved to US in 2020, conditional green card was approved December 21, 2021. We moved back to Canada October 28, 2023 and are not returning. Since I only had a conditional green card and did not apply for ROC, it's expired. Do I have to file an abandonment form? Does it affect taxes?

Thanks,

My spouse is a US Citizen (from birth) and I was granted a green card through consular processing (CR1). I arrived in the US on Feb 12 2022 and moved in with my husband. I never lived in the US before, nor did my husband and I ever live together before I moved to the US, although we visited each other often between 2018 and the time of my move (I lived in Canada, my husband in the US).

1. So as I understand it, even though there is a provision for early filing of 90 days before 3 year mark, since I would only complete 3 years of living together with my husband, the earliest I can apply for citizenship is Feb 12 2025. Is this correct?

2. There is one additional complication. Since Feb 12 2022, my husband and I have lived together in the same residence, and have not been apart for more than a few hours, except for one period of about 4 months when I had to travel to India and care for my mother as she was undergoing cancer treatment. This was between Aug 19 2022 and Dec 12 2022. Does this period count as a break in marital union? We remained a married couple. I maintained by residential address in US (I stayed in a hotel with my mom by the hospital). We were separated due to extenuating circumstances. Would this be seen as break in marital union resulting in my eligibility to apply for citizenship to be pushed to Dec 12 2025?
