US Immigration from Canada

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?

It says to bring my spouse (US Citizen) birth certificate for proof of citizenship. Can I just bring a copy of her passport? That s all we ve ever used through this whole process.

Hi all

My spouse is US citizen and I am the beneficiary filling DS 260 form but currently i am unemployed i resigned 1 month ago but my spouse has a job..

Will that be a problem ? What should i fill in the primary occupation section in DS 260 ?

I am a Canadian citizen who recently became a US permanent resident. I have a Registered Pension Plan (not RRSP) back in Canada from my previous job. This is an account where my employer matched my contributions and it also accumulated investment gains. It continues to grow with investments but I am obviously no longer actively contributing to it as an employee. Due to provincial rules, I cannot withdraw the RPP until I have been a non-resident of Canada for two years, which I am not yet. However, I am not sure I want to withdraw it at this time due to the gains. Are there any US tax obligations if I leave the RPP intact until I can withdraw it?
