    Really dependent on the employer and/or position. Most jobs requiring only a GED or high school degree won't care or ask. Then, if you have years or professional experience, your most recent accomplishments/certification/whatever will weigh more heavily. College applications, again, it depends. I completed another graduate program after moving to the US and I did not have to have my courses/degree evaluated, and simply submitted my transcripts; but in other fields, I would have had to... I would not pay to have anything evaluated before I knew for sure it would be requested.

    Please read the guides and the instructions for each of the forms, that will answer most of your questions. If anything is unclear while preparing the petitions, do come back with more specific questions

    No need to notify anyone. If you want to include a note, you can always say something like: "As requested, please find enclosed: a) ...; b)..., c) passport (recently renewed)" - however, this is not necessary.

    I think you need to stop, think, discuss, and decide where your children will/want to live (are they in college? do they want to live with their other parent?, and other factors important to your family). If the plan is for them to live in the US, then having your spouse petition them asap is the quickest, most efficient, way to go. It they will continue to live in Canada, then they are able to visit you.

    Did the consulate tell you you have to go in for a second oath?

    https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=478346 It will help members understand where you are in the process. What kind of applications have you filed? How many of them?

    Are the prison visits contact, or no contact? Are they exactly the same type as the people you know who were approved?

    Stay safe, especially if you are unsure how he'll react to the separation. Take care. https://www.thehotline.org/plan-for-safety/create-your-personal-safety-plan/

    After moving you need to file this form: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/forms/nr73.html asking CRA to determine your residency status. When you get the determination, you can provide it to your Canadian employer with it (you might be EI or OAS exempt, for example). However, before moving, or making any decision, I would consult with a fiscal accountant.

    This was an interesting read; no idea about the accuracy though https://withoutmyconsent.org/50state/filing-pseudonymously/federal/#:~:text=In federal court%2C a plaintiff,a motion with the court.

    From the wording of the letter (hard to tell from how the cut is done), but it seems to be denied because of the two bullet point lines in the letter, failure to establish "bonafide..." and "... citizenship". I was asking about cohabitation, because @mallafri76 seemed to imply that physical contact/contact visit was a condition of approval in her post here:
  12. Lemonslice
    No need to tell us, but during those 12, or 8, years, have you ever cohabitated, or has he been incarcerated the whole time? Just wondering if that is their reasoning behind "Establish a bona fide relationship with the beneficiary". Hopefully, other members who have adjusted status while their partner were incarcerated will be able to provide guidance.

    Since you got your status through VAWA, you might want to ask @Sandra G. about the best next step, in this thread:

    As I said, you can travel by land with the enhanced driver's license. Mail it in, when your father receives it, drive back to pick it up and to enter on your visa. Now that you wrote that you have a TN visa, that might support your request to get a second passport. If you are in the US, you might want to reach out to the consulate for your area.

Now that you wrote that you have a TN visa, that might be useful to support your request to get a second passport. If you are in the US, you might want to reach out to the consulate for your area.

    If your province offers enhanced driver's license, get one and travel by land (to the closest US airport, if you need to fly). Another option is to request a second passport from Passport Canada, however, it might be hard to argue, since it is for a hypothetical one time occurrence.
  17. Lemonslice
    Thousands of possible reasons, can't say before you get the letter, unless you know from your situation where the hiccup could be.

    For benefits eligibility, she should check with her state agency(ies); might vary by state, and other factors, so she should absolutely check in with them, especially since it does not sound like they could afford to lose those benefits.
  19. Lemonslice
    That's great news. Will they ship it to you?
  20. Lemonslice
    As many of us have told you, you need to reach out to the diplomatic mission where you interview took place, seems to be London for you. Have you reached out to them? Also, I do not doubt your story about your passport being held at the airport; I have seen it before. Plenty of things that are not supposed to happen, do in fact happen.
  21. Lemonslice
    Before flying back, I would try to reach out to the embassy and have the packet sent by courier to be and go to a deferred inspection center. I'm sure it's not the first time this has happened.

    I am sorry you experienced all these delays and hurdles; hopefully things will be smoother from now on. However, I would like to clarify that there are a few doctors in different regions of Canada that are able to conduct the medical exam. Since Canada is a large country, still not perfect, but there is more than just a doctor on the West Coast (and some applicants have stayed a few extra days in Montreal to do the medical exam and interview in the same trip). https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/MTL-Montreal.html#med_exam_instructions

    In case your fee waiver is denied, please look into this: https://www.onepercentforamerica.org/

    CRA will consider him resident from the numbers of days spent in Canada. IRS will consider him resident for tax purposes because he's a LPR. Edited to add: it doesn't mean he'll be taxed twice, just declare everything to both countries.
