EAD question Hi all, I'm hoping my case will follow the speedy case approvals I've seen in this March filer thread--congratulations all. I was wondering if my EAD doesn't come through before my TN status expires (July 2)--can I continue to live in the United States as long as I'm not...

Hello, I would like some advice about marriage to an American citizen. My fiance (a U.S. citizen) and I are getting married in February. What are our next steps? I am currently living and working in the United States on a TN-1 visa (Canadian citizen) and my status expires on July 2nd. We...

green card questions Thank you all so much for your very helpful replies. I'm not really that concerned with actually getting the 10-year-green card versus the conditional card (we're totally not ready to get married now!), I just want to be able to work very soon after getting married, and...

Hello, I have a question regarding green cards and marriage. My boyfriend is applying for citizenship in a few days and I was wondering whether I could stay in the country if we got married right now, instead of waiting until he gets his citizenship. I know that marrying a green card holder...

Thank you for your response, The Real Canadian, that was very helpful. The reason I don't necessarily want to continue with my TN is that I'm worried that if I get rejected this year, that rejection might affect a future spousal sponsorship petition. Also, the TN renewal is not a sure thing...

Hello Mr. Zuccaro (and others), I have just sent in my mail-renewal TN application (they received it at VSC yesterday) and as of next week, the 240 day rule will apply to me. However, I was wondering whether there was a USCIS website or official government site that I could refer my employer...
