Whatever. What i said is going through a lot of people's minds. If the OP goes ahead with a K3 that will be denied too. You guys need to stop sugar coating this situation and say that age doesn't matter - OF COURSE IT MATTERS!!!

No, probably not.

I don't see how you can ask them not to - but once you get your interview letter then try to reschedule then. I would imagine they're not manually doing the letters that some machine somewhere is plunking out dates and times.

My guess is it WILL come up at the interview. They did with us verify our employment (asked us verbally to confirm our employer and job title) and of course if she lost her job then really she should be honest.

Sure why wouldn't you. You did not say if your husband is a USC but if he is then your timeline is about 3 months if everything goes smoothly. On your last entry in March, what was your intent - was it to get married and adjust status? It is possible that the IO will ask you about this - a TN should have a non-immigrant intent upon entry. For us, we explained (I Was a TN now have a GC) that it wasn't until I got pregnant that we decided to adjust status. our intent all along was to immigrate to Canada but since my status was tied to my job and I wasn't sure I was going back to my job... that we need to adjust.

You don't have to wait to get your green card to go back to Canada - you can get your AP however that comes so shortly before the GC that why even bother. don't leave the U.S. and expect to come back on your TN. You also don't need to apply for your EAD as you are already working with USCIS authorization.

When we had our GC interview, the officer mentioned how it is constantly a problem with Canadians (no proof of entry). I was fortunate and had stamps plus an I-94 in my passport (I was TN) but I believe they just want to make sure that you entered with being inspected (you didn't enter illegally). Give it some time for him to check out and I'm sure it will be no issue.

I don't think it will but it really does depend on your intent. Do you intend to immigrate to the U.S.?

My husband and I entered the U.S. from a vacation taken together and we were engaged and didn't encounter any problems. Next time we entered we were married and all the border guy asked us was if we were married. We intended on immigrating to Canada in the summer of 2012 so there was no point in going through AOS as my intent was not to immigrate. However that changed when I got pregnant - if i decided to leave my job then I'd be out of status so we did do the AOS. (although we still intend on going back!).

P.S. don't lie to a border guy about your relationship. They are trained to detect liars as well you don't want that lie to bite you in the butt. And yes they can take your TN away from you at any entry.

I'm hoping I'll be giving birth on Thanksgiving (hopefully sooner)

Ick seriously, nobody wants to see your chat logs! Including immigration.

Good lord that is a lot of evidence. I'd say you'll have no problem. I went in with 15 pictures, joint health insurance and a joint bank account and was never asked for more.

P.S. why submit correspondence between the two of you, doesn't it feel weird that they'd be reading that?

Pictures (wedding, life pictures), joint health insurance cards, cards from friends

Learn how to drive! Seriously there are too many insane drivers!

If you entered on a K1 and therefore already had an interview, you may not get a second. OR if your husband is deployed in the US military then you may not have one. Otherwise, look forward to it.

It may be possible to give the chest xray to a civil surgeon and then he won't have to do the TB test. when i went to do my medical, the doctor told me if I had the xray from a surgery I had done and it was less than a year old, then I didn't have to do the TB test.

Wow you had the same type of officer I had - completely devoid of any emotion. I also adjusted from a TN (it was still valid until 2012) to a GC via marriage to a USC. I don't think an overstay once married to a USC is something they think is a big deal unless you're on the visa waiver program and have overstayed. BTW I received my GC approx 10 days after the interview.

Sure, it's possible the length of the relationship would be added proof, it all depends on your intent when you entered. (and can you prove it - your explanation may suffice). When I first got here, we briefly saw a lawyer (actually not sure what he was) and he said we should not get married within the first 60 days of me being here because then it looks like you intended to immigrate. Your choice are to file an AOS while here (and don't leave) or go back home and have him file for you as his spouse.

I think a lot of scary stories are on here so don't get too scared but just be aware of what can happen. Someone else will come along with better advice though

You may have an issue. When we did our GC interview, the officer said it was a "common problem" with Canadians - that there is no legal proof of entry. I'm not sure how you fix that though. My passport got stamped every time I entered.

Also, i hope you don't run into problem if you married a couple weeks after you got here. Your intent upon entering is then questioned... why would you marry so fast? Was your intent to marry and immigrate (they'll ask you that). Not a great way to start things.

Yes the procedure is to find and interview for a job. However if he comes to the US in order to find a job, he may find resistance at the border. If he's coming for a pre-arranged interview, then that would be fine. The company has to write a letter specifying they want to hire this employee TEMPORARILY as he must intend on returning to Mexico at the end of the time (maximum 3 years but extentions can be granted).

He has to work within his field. It cannot be ANY job. They are not flexible in this with engineering. Research it well. There are government sites which say what the TN status can be in. I don't believe with engineering that you need any work experience (I'm on a different computer than all of my bookmarks) but you should be able to google information on credible sites. If he's a mechanical engineer, then he must find a job in mechanical engineering. I'm a Canadian who got a TN and I researched all the information myself. Definitely look at the government websites which dictate the rules and what professions are covered under a TN and what qualifications you need.

I never knew they did an intimate physical exam. I adjusted status while in the U.S. but because I'm pregnant, I brought all my records from my OB giving my syphilis / pap / last physical exam results, which I had just had a few months prior. I saw on the USCIS website that if you're pregnant, your OB can be your "intimate exam" doctor.

It might be a posibility that you can forward recent records from your doctor... who knows? I know it can be un-nerving to have a stranger doing that.

Good luck

It doesn't seem that the USCIS website has updated this past week. My AOS was approved on Sept 7, yet the USCIS site still says it is in "initial review". Give it a few more days at least - if not even more time. My husband's petition for me (I-130) was approved Sept 1 and it also says still in initial review.

It sounds like you either have a immigration officer who is in serious doubt of the validity of your relationship OR maybe you have a bizarre officer who is asking for bizarre things. Your list that you were given is extreme but just try your best to address them one by one. For example, if you can't supply photos of the US citizen's family at your wedding, explain why. Hopefully you can submit photos of you with his family at some point in time. If you don't have joint health insurance, explain why (maybe you have none, etc) but you can submit the joint car insurance. You probably only have a certain amount of time to work on this so make sure you get on it right away.

Sorry to hear about that; hope everything works out for you.

The USCIS officer has EVERYTHING that you sent. You just need certified copies or originals and copies to bring to the interview in case they ask to see the original or in case they want to keep something - then they'll take a copy and just look at the original. If you sent a lot of photos, etc, the officer will have looked at them before the interview (ours did, however I'm sure it varies). Our officer didn't ask to see originals or copies of anything. He did ask if we wanted to submit more evidence, to which we said no.

Good luck.

Your baby is a USC (being born in the US) and will not need to adjust status.

What does it matter if you get an interview or not? They're not a big deal if you have nothing to hide. I thought it was only possible if your spouse was deployed OR you're adjusting from a K-1
