Enjoyed the troll post while we all are anxiously waiting for the eligibility to fulfill. In the off chance this is not a troll post and you're being serious, just have one advice for you: Don't approach a government official with your question 1, chances are you'll eventually end up being...

Not sure about 485 specifically but people receive new passport details all the time while their USCIS petitions are pending. Since the green card visa allocation is based on the place of birth, can't think of a reason why it'd be a problem even for 485. If you really want to be sure, get the...

Did you ask them if your AVR is still valid because of your canceled appointment? Applying for visa means either: 1. Providing a visa officer your DS-160 and other documents at an in-person appointment or 2. Submitting your passport and other documents at the dropbox location for interview...

Hiring an attorney just for mailing convenience seems a little too much work? Unless you have other questions about your filing. Just a personal opinion. Given the fact people on the forum seem to travel all the time after filing their applications.

No personal experience but I believe at least when it comes to PR applications, canceled means a rejected application. (Recently read a post on the PR forum someone got this status update when they lacked a police certificate on their application.) That being said a rejection seems very unlikely...

Whether they fingerprint you or not, they will most likely be able to pull up the records using your Name/DOB etc combination. That's probably why some people with very common names get pulled for secondary very frequently (because some other person with similar name/DOB have some record in the...

Certainly. One prior issue doesn't mean lifetime ban. That's exactly why they have inadmissibility waivers etc. Don't worry about anything, once you finish the Canadian process, consult a US immigration attorney, file the paperwork, you should be good in no time. They will know who you are...

As harirajmohan said, even before you go to the judge, it would definitely help to understand if you have met the 1095 days or not. The evidences you have mentioned are good, collect as much of those as possible. You can also try to get the health information - every province allows a way to...

From Canadian end, you seem ok. When is the 4 year cut off coming? Unless it's close, personally I wouldn't wait for it. From US side, take legal help from decent attorneys. This is a pretty standard scenario and waiver applications shouldn't cost too much, may be a couple of grand or so. They...

Possibly you were paroled into the country. http://www.borderimmigrationlawyer.com/parole-into-the-us/ Kinda harsh but I think that's the only way the officer let you into the country. Otherwise it would've been a voluntary departure or deportation since CBP is not allowed to issue visa (which...

If you check your I 94 and it shows a valid entry and exit date for those times, that will serve as an unambiguous proof you were legally admitted after the incident.

Kinda strange it was marked as an arrest. Not sure if all US immigration detentions are considered arrests. Doesn't appear to be a serious violation if this is everything. As long as you have no criminal history and you make a detailed case to IRCC this was a genuine mistake, I don't think this...

Like @harirajmohan said, it seems to be a common practice of IRCC if they find issues with physical presence calculation, they take a very long to process the application and make a decision. After thoroughly checking your physical presence calculation, if you are convinced the calculation was...

Was your visa facially invalid at the time of entry? Was it a oversight on your part you didn't look at the date printed on the visa or were you planning to use some valid provision that allows you entry with an expired visa? Just curious. I don't have a lot of info from IRCC perspective but...

Thank you for the info!!

Also, it helps if you have developed a specialization in demand and are able to highlight that in your resume.

Settlement forum might give you better answers but a generic piece of advice would be to throw out all your expectations in terms of pay and take the offer that comes your way. Don't make the classic mistake of comparing your Canadian offer to your US compensation. Also, get an offer before...

Hello all, My H1 stamp expired in Dec 2016 (old passport) but I was working in the US until Jan 2019 with I 797. I am a Canadian PR living in Canada now. Because of the time elapsed from the last validity period, should I automatically assume I will be ineligible for dropbox when I apply for a...
