I had a TN. Then switched to an H1-B. Quit that job to go to a new job. Got a TN for the new job. I just drove across the border into Canada, made a U turn, went back into the US, got the TN. Off I went to new job.

I have been traveling domestically for 10 years. Of those 10 years I spent 6-7 years flying pretty much every week. And never, and I mean not one time have I been asked for immigration papers. Nor have I ever seen anyone from INS/USCIS hovering around the gate area. I've never been to Puerto...

My recollection from way back when is that you cannot work on a TN visa and apply for a GC at the same time. A TN visa is temporary, and non-immigrant. If you are applying for a GC while on a TN you are planning on being in the US permanently and immigrating, hence doing the exact opposite of...

If you look at the USCIS time lines for sponsorship by siblings, they're now processing applications from 1999 to 2001. So you would have quite a long wait. And this is only after your brother becomes a USC. I am by no means an expert on marriage or divorce law, but I doubt not wanting to...

CRIS? Is that the online thing? I never checked status on that. Tried once, none of my receipt numbers were available, never bothered again. See my post on government and things making sense....or rather not.

Yes you can use that SSN to do everything a "regular" SSN can do. A little advice now that you have a SSN: Don't give that number away to anyone unless you absolutely have to. Seems like these days everyone asks for your social. But don't give it to them. If you want to get a credit card or...

Wasn't that part of the approval letter?

No updates. Just the approved letter then 3 weeks later the card. I was quite surprised it came that fast as the approval letter said to expect up to 60 days before the card would show up. It's the government. Don't ever expect anything to make sense. And a little O/T, but for any of you...

So my 3 year GC anniversary is fast approaching. I'm debating whether to apply for citizenship or not. One of the things that I need to find out is travel restrictions (if any) while in the process of applying. I travel internationally for business, usually once, maybe twice a month. These are...

I got mine and only about 3 weeks after getting the letter that said it could take up to 60 days. I didn't even know there was a switch to new printers. Guess I was lucky and either got one of the first ones or one of the last ones to roll off. It looks pretty much like the old one I had (the...

Got approved in May, got card this week.

After almost 3 years, the journey is complete. I received my permanent Green Card in the mail yesterday. My time line is in my signature. Woo hoo!!

You can't have too much evidence, don't let people scare you into thinking you sent too much. It clearly states on the instruction to send as much as you want. And I also don't think there is a "right" or "wrong" set of things to send. Every couple is different. I keep reading that people...

HUH? Officers came to your house? I didn't know officers were sent to people's homes unannouced like that.

My wife and I had our interview it lasted about 20 mins, together. We were asked a couple of basic questions like each other's birthdays, where we grew up, how we met, etc. That took about 3 minutes. The rest of the time we spent shooting the s**t with the interviewer, turned out he was...

I just sent in my 751. I spent a few hours getting it all ready. As far as the immigration forms filled out so far, this one was by far the easiest one. It's essentially sending in photocopies of your financial records, and in my case a few photos. Paying anyone even $1 to fill it out for you...

I'm not all that concerned with naturalization, don't even know if I want to get US citizenship or not. My rent is $2800 a month for the house. Paying $30K just so I can get citizenship early...not worth it. Although I suppose we could rent a super cheap studio or something just to keep...

It's what I figured...except I wouldn't be employed by them. It would be a contract. Although it is a company I used to work for as a full time employee.

Hey all, Here's my scenario: Got my GC through marriage in Nov 2006. It is the 2 year version so I need to get the permanent one later this year. An opportunity has come up for me to work in Asia. It would be anywhere from 8-10 months, maybe even longer. Great money, full living...

Thanks. That's what I needed to know. As always this board is great.
