Thanks. Although in order to change my name on my Canadian passport, I need supporting ID with my married name (which I won't have until my green card is processed). So this would bring me back full circle. Do I for sure need my passport in my married name when applying for I-751?

Hi everyone,

I am up to remove conditions in June 2014. All of my documents are in my maiden name (green card, Canadian passport, SSN, etc). I really want to change to my name to my married name, but am trying to sort out when the best time to do this, and in what order? Should I wait to change my green card first, then tackle all of the other documents?

Also, does my green card name need to match my SSN name in order to work?

Thanks!

Hello,

I entered the US on a TN-1 visa (Canadian), and am adjusting status to green card through marriage. Now that I've received my EAD in the mail, do I need to let my current employer know, or can I still continue working with my TN? Thanks

Ok, so just to be clear, the A# is what I can reference (for example, a job application) for the employer to verify I can legally work? As a note, I am currently working with a TN-1.

Hello,

I recently checked the website for my status, and I'm currently waiting for my card to arrive by mail. Can I apply for a job before I get the card? Or is my alien number the one I need? Thanks.

Hi everyone,

A quick question about the Chicago lockbox - I sent my package in via USPS with a tracking number (express mail). I tracked the package and it says that they were unable to deliver it because there was no one authorized to receive it? Anyone else with the same problem? I'm worried that it'll be sent back to me. Thanks.

Hello,

I'm filling out form I-130. Do I need to submit my husband's birth certificate (he's a US citizen), or will his passport be enough? Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working with a TN-1 and applying for permanent residency via my US citizen husband. We will be moving in the spring, therefore I will be changing jobs. My question is: can I apply for a new job with EAD? Thanks.

Yes, I married a US citizen. I'm currently TN-1 status.

Hello,

I am here on TN-1 Visa. Once I file and (hopefully) get approved with I-765, can I change jobs or do I need to stay with the employer until I get permanent residence? Thanks.

Hi there,

I'm wondering, do I need to submit a certified copy of birth/marriage certificates, or can I make photocopies myself? I was reading the instructions of I-130 and was confused about the birth certificate, that my husband would need to provide a copy of his birth certificate, issued by a civil registrar. Thanks.

Hello,

How much emphasis is placed on the previous years' income tax? I ask because my husband was a student for the past 3 years and just recently started working in 2011. His income now exceeds poverty lines. Thanks.

Hello,

I need help answering question #14. I first arrived in 2009, but have since renewed my TN. Do I put the date of my most recent entry (when I renewed) along with that I-94#? The only thing conflicting is the date I started employment (in 2009, which is earlier than the date on my I-94). I don't have my original (first) I-94 as they took it when I renewed, so I hope the latest I-94 will do. Thank you for the help!

When filling out the I-485, under Part 2 "Application Type" which one should I choose?

Great thread, so helpful! I have been in the US for 2 years on TN, and I noticed in your thread that they ask for 3 years worth of tax returns (I only have 2). Will this be a problem?
