US Immigration from Canada

I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out for guidance following a recent change in my employment and visa status. Last Friday, after my employer unexpectedly terminated my role, my fianc (a U.S. citizen) and I accelerated our plans and decided to marry, aiming to begin the process of adjusting my status to obtain a Green Card. My TN visa, initially valid until December 2025, was tied to my employment, prompting this swift change in our personal and legal circumstances.

Given these developments, I'm seeking clarity on whether I need to leave the U.S. within the 60-day grace period that typically follows employment termination (before May 29, 2024), or if I can remain in the country to complete the necessary paperwork for my Green Card application.

While securing new employment under a TN visa remains a concern, I'm in a fortunate position financially and can afford some time without immediate employment. My priority is to navigate this transition correctly and expediently to ensure my status adjustment proceeds smoothly.

Thank you in advance for your advice and assistance.

Hello,

My wife (USC petitioner) and I (intending immigrant) live in Canada and are in the process of collecting documents for I-864. Since my wife has no US income and her parents live in the US, her dad has agreed to be the joint sponsor. However her mom and dad are getting a divorce (currently they are still married but living separately). Here are the forms that we think need to be filled up:

• I-864 filed by my wife (petitioner)
• I-864 filed by by my father-in-law (joint sponsor): Her dad's income alone is enough to meet the income threshold.
• I-864A filed by my mother-in-law (household member of joint sponsor) since they filed taxes jointly

Question #1: Is the above correct? Since they are still married we think my father-in-law is required to add my mother-in-law as a household member so they have to file both a I-864 and I-864A.

Question #2: Do the joint sponsor (my father-in-law) AND the household member (his wife) both assume financial responsibility for the intending immigrant (me)? Or is it only the joint sponsor?

Question #3: Will I need to provide new evidence of financial support at the time of my consulate interview? Since the divorce will have finalized by then and the circumstances will have changed.

Thank you!

I have a green card and my wife intervewed at the Montreal consulate in March. She was given a DS5535 which we have submitted. In the meantime can she travel to the US to visit me? We are getting very nervous. Thanks.

I just applied for my first US passport and expedited it as we are travelling in June, and while we re staying in the US, it would be bad if it arrived while we were away. I m also due to renew my Canadian passport. I see that it takes about 20 days which seems like enough time. However; I m not sure how long delivery takes to the US. Anyone have a recent experience getting a renewed passport?

Hi All. Back after a long absence. My GC is expiring end of this year. Decided to go for citizenship. Decided to go with online route instead of paper. Have completed about 98% now. One page asks me for my USCIS # even though I'm clearly signed on to their system filling in their application. Sigh. I have looked everywhere on my account page and can not locate it anywhere. I have read in the online guides. It says to locate it on my profile page. Can not find such a page. Tried to phone and reach a USCIS agent. The computer just hangs up on me repeatedly. Ridiculous. Can anyone light the way here ?
