Can you please suggest how to do it?

I am Canadian. become US resident from Sep 2022 (CR1) and haven't worked on US soil in 2022. I called my accountant and she said I dont need to because I had not worked in states yet and been here less than 6 months. So she is suggesting file separately and let me file mine in Canada for 2022. And from 2023, I can file for full year. I thought I still have to file $0 in US by law. But the accountant seemed confident that I don't need to. So just here for second opinion. Thanks,

Crossed on July 26th, got the SSN within 2 weeks. Thought that was pretty fast lol Greencard though still waiting, paid the fee 2 months ago. I am back in canada to wrap up few things. My general concern is what do you guys say when crossing a border? lol For example, when I drove from USA to CANADA. I just presented my Canadian passport, I doubt they even saw my CR1 visa, they took me as I am returning to Canada. Likewise, now when I go back to US, do i need to open that passport page and go as resident? or it really doesn't matter? This question will also come up when I hold 2 passports, is it illegal to enter Canada with canadian passport and usa with US passport?

I think you will get it tomorrow btw just wanted to share that Welcome to USA letter is hilarious, looks like made by some kid, also printed so poor 😆

Interview was on 4th May, and picked up my passport today. So 4 business day

just got my tracking number this morning

' Not anymore, instead we got a letter one of the user posted on previous page which says how to track once your visa been approved.

Oh wow, nightmare stuff... hopefully i get it soon, i plan to go out of country soon, need my passport lol

I thought AP was standard thing and every application goes through it. Now I am curious too, mine was issued on May 4th, is it actually going to take several weeks?

Hi Everyone, I am trying to figure out what to do as my CR-1 is approved and I have bunch of questions, hopefully I get some clarity without spending money on legal fees 1). How does the activation work? I have canadian passport and sometime I just drive to states to eat at Cheesecake factory. Do I have to specifically tell them that I have a visa and I want to activate it? 2). I have lot to wrap up in Canada before I am fully move, is it legal to activate and come back within a week? Do I disclose this at the border? 3). I can activate it from border? including the rainbow bridge? Do I need to get out of my car? 4). If I move on my last month, and for some delays I don't get my greencard by Nov. Can I still fly to india and come back to usa? without greencard? (I have Canadian passport and OCI) thank you in advance everyone Cheers,

btw guys, they kept my police clearance. Rest of the things they gave me back. Is this normal? or he made a mistake

Had the interview this morning. Literally took less than 5min. Online status also updated to Issue. Thanks everyone for all the help and support throughout this process. I will miss checking this forum every now and then One thing I will say is, I think people in this group are way over paranoid, and nervous. This was literally a Q/A session than an interview. If your marriage is legit, don't worry at all. Also about the documents, people posting pictures of HUGE binders and files made me doubt myself in last min, even at the embassy I saw people brining in SO Much documentations and for life of me I did not get what they have in it. I guess each case is different. This is all they asked for, and don't even need extra copy 1). Marriage Certificate 2). Birth Certificate (mine was laminated lol) I was worried about this, but thankfully no issue 3). Affidavit of Support with their most recent tax return (W2) 4). Your passport and proof of your sponsor is US citizen (I just had their passport copy) 5). Police Clearance 6). 2 Passport size pictures 7). 5-6 Pictures telling your story (in my case they didn't even asked this lol) My medical was done on Apr 18th and they submitted the docs electronically. It did not come up in the discussion lol so I guess they did receive it. But this is it. literally not more than 10 papers. Don't over do and don't stress. Questions 1). Name and DOB of your sponsor 2). Where they live 3). How you guys met 4). What she do for living 5). Any previous marriage, kids? 6). What you do for living 7). When did you come to canada I think this was it. In and out within 2.5hr. They opened late I think, started taking 7:30 people at ~8

Whats the interview appointment letter that I need to bring? The email they sent me? Just print and bring it?
