Accruing 180 days / 1 year of unlawful presence and then leaving the US triggers a 10-year ban under INA 212(a)(9)(B). Any such ban would be over. Being removed from within the US for the first time would have triggered a 10-year ban under INA 212(a)(9)(A), but you don't trigger such a ban if...

She was physically present in the US for 3 weeks. Whether she "resided" in the US is in dispute. You are saying yes; they are saying no. A lawyer can help make your case. Is she planning to go to the US anytime soon?

Every person always needs a separate I-485. There needs to be a separate I-864 for each I-130. You and your son are each the principal beneficiary on the respective I-130, and there are no derivative beneficiaries. So on each I-864, there is only one immigrant being sponsored. (Specifically, on...

Automatic citizenship under INA 320 does not require presence in the US for a particular length of time, but it does require that she be "residing" in the US at that time.

Canadian citizens do not need a visa to enter the US into most nonimmigrant statuses, including TD. So she would never need to get a TD visa on her Canadian passport. I believe she can continue to stay in the US on her current TD I-94, since TD status is not dependent on nationality. But I am...

What nelsona said is correct. Canadian citizens don't need to get a visa for dependents to get a visa. I think what you might be referring to is the fact, that, sometimes, it might be beneficial to issue a Canadian citizen a visa even if they don't need it, if both the Canadian citizen and the...

Naturalization can only be revoked for false information if that information would have influenced whether to approve your naturalization, according to the US Supreme Court decision in Maslenjak v. United States (2017). If your application is still pending, and you are sure that the arrest...

What do you mean by your "current H1B is expiring on Oct 17, 2024"? When you stop working, you remain in status until 60 days after you stopped working, or until your I-94 expires, whichever is first. Since you stopped working on September 3, you should remain in status until about November 2...
