Hi Everyone!

I am a Canadian F-1 student visa holder in the USA. When I moved to the United States 3.5 years ago I opened a USA TD checking/savings account, and also applied and received a USA TD Credit Card- without a SSN since I was on a student visa and not working.

I have a question- I am currently applying for a SSN and once I receive the SSN and report it to the USA TD, will my USA 'credit history' start from the day I receive my SSN, or will the USA credit history adjust retroactively back 3.5 years while I was on my student visa and first got the USA TD credit card?

Thank you in advance.

Hey everyone,

just wanted your help with two questions. I am in the AOS process with my wife who applied for our adjustment. I came to the USA a couple of years back on F-1, before i-485 app. I've used my Advance Parole once already.

in the area it states, 'current immigration status', what should I write?

Also, 'status at last entry'?

Thank you in advance

yup - you can apply for ead - give over a copy receipt notice on the I-485 with the EAD app and the fee is waived.

Thank you! What category do I enter in the "who may file" section, is it just © (9):

EAD Applicants Who Have Filed for Adjustment of Status Adjustment Applicant--©(9). File Form I-765 with a copy of the receipt notice or other evidence that your Form I-485, Application for Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, is pending. You may file Form I-765 together with your Form I-485.

is that it ? all i would send is my i485 copy attached to the i-765 app?

What would i write as my 'current immigration status' since im in the AOS process ? Also, I used my AP once already, so what would be my 'status at last entry?'

Thank you all for your help !!!

Hi All!

I am currently in the AOS process after marrying my fiance last year, I was a F1 visa holder when we got married. My i485 and i130 have been ready to 'schedule for an interview' for the last 5 months. I have the AP on hand. I spoke to my local congressman who's office contacted USCIS three weeks ago and again this week. They received a response saying that there's a backlog of apps they are working on and my app is still in queue.

My question is, I am completing graduate school soon and will be looking for jobs, I didn't think the green card would take this long and don't know how much longer it will take. So, we are thinking about possibly applying for a i-765 EAD. Is this possible? We would really appreciate your input!

@newacct Thank you ! much appreciated.

Hi Community!

You have been a great resource for me and my wife over the last 6 months.

I moved from Canada to the US in 2012 on a F-1 visa for graduate school. Got married to the love of my life after a couple of years of dating, in May 2015. Marriage took place in the USA. With the guidance of the VJ community we submitted the i-130 and i-485, along with the i-131 for advanced parole (and supporting docs) in June 2015. I had my biometrics appointment 1 month later in July 2015.

Currently:

i-130 status online states that "my case was received", status since June 2015

i-485 status online states that "my case is ready to be scheduled for an interview", status since July 2015

i-131 approved and received Advanced Parole 40 days later, in mid-August 2015

My F-1 visa is still valid until May 2016.

My questions are:

1) if I travel back to Canada and re-enter the USA after visiting my family for a weekend, will I still be considered a F-1 visa holder, or is it considered abandoned ?

2) With my AP, what supporting documents would they ask from me at the port of entry, coming back into the USA after a weekend in Canada?

3) Finally, will the i-130 status be updated after i-485 interview is completed? Kind of confused about this part

Thank you all in advance, you have been a great help
