Does she have her own working status (TN, H-1B, L-1, etc)? Can you switch to a dependent status (would require a trip to the border) and switch to TD, H-4, or L-2--and then both switch to B-2 when she leaves her job?

I meant to say--they are NOT actually REQUIRED to recognize an expungement. But in cases where they have some discretion--for example you are done with probation, have had no further trouble with the law, and have only the one DUI on your record--it definitely looks a bit better to get that...

As nelsona said--and as curiousgeorge describes in more detail in the post nelsona referred you to--it is not a problem if you drop out of the GC process BEFORE filing I-485. Only you control the filing of I-485 and until that step is taken there is no immigrant intent. In my opinion and...

You are allowed to postpone your naturalization case once no questions asked. However even a wet or dry reckless is considered a criminal conviction albeit somewhat less serious than the original DUI charge. There will be a period of probation for a wet or dry reckless--shorter than for a full...

Sorry to hear about this difficult situation. The most obvious thing to do would be to get the TN at the border. Surely if you explain the situation to your new employer they would facilitate this? Alternatively if the new employer has already filed Form I-129 and checked the box for "extend...

I agree with everything nelsona says but just to elaborate a bit more on this point: what a Canadian typically needs and gets is TN status, not a TN visa. That is why the notice above is correct--it is not a visa but you do not need a visa--you need TN status. TN status for Canadians is often...

You can look at the following website to get a sense of how frequently they do same day oaths: http://www.trackitt.com/usa-immigration-trackers/n400 If you do a search on USCIS District Office for Reno, you will see the cases listed for Reno. Unfortunately there aren't a lot listed for Reno...

Actually I don't know this for sure. But I just don't see the difference between a successful interview and an unsuccessful one coming down to whether you have proof of the dismissal of the restraining order. So if you do get called in for an interview I think the working assumption should be...

Then I would trust your lawyer's judgment unless there is really good reason to believe your lawyer is mistaken. And in any event the restraining order remains a civil matter so the outcome of your green card case isn't going to stand or fall based on what documents you have regarding that...

Hope it isn't too late for a reply to be useful, although you posted a very similar question a few months back to which I've already replied. If you found my answer insufficient it would have been better to reply to the existing thread with follow up questions that others or I could answer as...

What is "your country"? Depending on the country you might need an actual TD visa obtained at the US consulate in "your country". @nelsona is right that you don't need ties to Canada.

You need to talk to an attorney who is familiar both with federal immigration law and with state criminal law in your state. The problem is that diversion programs may often involve you admitting to your basic guilt. This doesn't count as a conviction for state criminal purposes if you...

Remember also that--depending on the amount of assets you have in your foreign (non-US) bank accounts--you may also have FBAR / IRS reporting requirements. This is quite a serious obligation and my understanding is that the obligation remains active until you affirmatively file Form I-407 with...

Good luck! A restraining order--especially a dismissed one--is not that big a deal but just be prepared if any questions do come up in person.

Who is 'we' in the above? If you've gotten back together with your partner and your partner is also a non-citizen and the 'we' means you and your partner--I cannot speak to that. Sometimes such matters involve accusations in both directions but you haven't said anything about your partner's...

After getting my green card, but before getting my citizenship, a restraining order was filed against me. In my case the judge approved the petitioner's request and granted a permanent (multi-year) restraining order against me. Nevertheless I was still able to naturalize as a US citizen...

viajero, mister: nelsona is clearly the main resident expert. I believe your son would need to change his status within the US by a mail in change of status as he won't be re-admitted as a B2 tourist unless and until he re-establishes Canadian residency. He would do this using Form I-539...

Then why the need for premium processing at all? The original poster may--if they haven't already done so--check out trackitt.com and in particular at tracking information for N-400 cases in their particular area (which they haven't shared in this thread). That would help a lot in...

Agree w/Nelson your first thing should be to try at the border for a new TN. Also agree w/both of you that 2 months in advance is pushing it. Even with premium processing a mail in renewal might not be processed before you are married to a US citizen. In that case the mail in is a non...

If a trip to the border to renew the TN that fast isn't in the cards, another option may be to postpone the citizenship interview. I believe they allow you to postpone once, no questions asked and no need for an additional fee or to start from scratch. This could buy additional time to get the...
