US Immigration from Canada

Just an interesting musing for people who might be interested. We filed Kid1's I-90 when they turned 14, as required. This was nearly 3 years ago. We received Kid1's new greencard in the mail on Friday. The expiration date has been extended from 2030 to 2033, too. They won't need the 10+ years as we'll be applying for US passports in December after the kids complete some international travel next month. It just surprised us because we hadn't given it much thought!

Kid1 is happy because biometrics meant an updated photo and although it's not super updated, the difference from the original to the most recent is pretty huge! The later is definitely more representative. Hopefully said child won't be disappointed in their passport photo

Hello everyone,

our daughter sponsored us for the Greencard Nov/22. We just received the interview for adjustment of status, I m wondering what paper work we should take with us for the interview? Please advise.

Filed for my i-129f petition on the 10th of October, and they received it on the 11th. I also filed for e-notifications. How long does it take till we get notified for NOA1? Super anxious!

Thanks!

I'm in the US on an O-1 visa. I've had it since 2018 and it now needs to be renewed/extended annually. Currently I'm waiting to hear if the next 1-year extension will be granted. My visa has actually expired, but because I submitted the extension application prior to the visa expiration date I'm still here legally. My question is whether I can get married right now, while the my I-129 for the O-1 is pending review. The rush is that we want to submit I-130 and I-485 right away after the O-1 is approved (which I think it will be) so that I have a full year left on the visa. I'm trying to avoid an interruption in work. Thanks for any help and apologies if this is the wrong spot for this question.

Hi All,

Wondering the pros and cons of where to get married, country wise? Seen recently flags against getting married in USA, then seeking CR1. Seeking to establish the truths of the matter, as this seems odd to me.

My fiance and I want to get married and do the CR1 visa process. I live in Canada, she lives in America (citizen). To marry I would be in america on a visitor visa. Same for her in Canada.

-Is there pros and cons of the place of marriage?

-Does an american wedding work against the visa process? Is it all legal?

-How do the USA visa centers view a marraige in america?

-Can I continue to visit?

-what kind of marriage certificate or otherwise do the US Gov want to see? Has anyone had authenticity issues?

I've had a port of entry officer and other resources make me second guess this so any information of this would be great.

What I know is its quicker in USA, you can do a 'wedding' it in one day and get the certificate in a week.

Canada you need a registration from service bc, then organise a commissioner, then wait up to 1 month on certificate .

Any comments would be appreciated,

Mark
