Hey everyone, I am a January filer too. TN -> Married USC -> concurrent filing to Chicago

Hey All, I am currently here from Canada on a TN visa which expires May 27th, 2008. On November 30th, 2007 I married my wife who is a USC. I now have a copy of my marriage certificate and am ready to adjust my status. I am looking to adjust my status to permanent resident and eventually...

Thanks Nelsona, you're always a help

Hey everybody, this forum is absolutely invaluable and has come in handy so often over the years as I renwed TNs etc. I am currently on my 8th consecutive TN with the same company (so yeah, it can be done) but the good news is that I just married my wife and I will no longer need to play the TN...

Thanks sshakeny, I'm a lucky guy and I am trying to limit any strain my not being a USC has on the start of our life together. I know she understands my situation but you know how it is, you always want to go above and beyond for them.

Thanks everyone, right now I'm leaning toward not filing AOS until after the christmas holiday. In regard to the K1 visa, is the process of AOS from K1 to permanent resident the same timeline as the TN to perm is? For some reason I was thinking that if I held a K1 it would speed up the...

I also would like to be able to go home to Canada at Christmas. If I file the AOS it seems like that would take a few months at best and I would probably be held at the border in Canada since the 131 (advance parole) is taking 3 months to process. Is this true? Should I wait until after...

Hey all, This is the best place for TN info and while this is not solely TN related I figured I'd still get the best answers here. I am a Canadian citizen with TN1 status which is valid until May 27th, 2008. I will be marrying my fiancee on November 30th, 2007. She is a US citizen...

If you're worried simply about the immigrant intent issue I suppose I would make sure to have documents showing CDN residence, ties (ie Loans, Bank Accounts, etc), etc. Something that indicates you would have something to return to. I would also point out the fact that you have previously...

Just got email notification that my TN1 extension was approved, guess I should have the notice in a few days. Receipt date: May 14th Approval date: Aug 28th Slower than some of the others but fine, good luck to everyone else waiting on extensions. P.S. This was my 8th concurrent TN...

Ha, it's an excruciatingly funny process

sonofa...I have a May 14th receipt date and no update

Thanks Nelsona! I see USCIS just updated their processing times, says that as of August 16th (though they didnt actually post the updates until August 20th) they are processing 129s with a receipt notice date of May 14th. That's my exact receipt notice date, so I guess I should expect an...

I saw a few weeks ago that CanadianJohn had his mail-in extension approved, his had a receipt date of May 29th. I have a pending mail-in extension with a receipt notice date of May 14th, but I have had no update on my status and the USCIS site still says "Case received and pending" as my...

That sounds pretty likely. "The United States must compete for foreign professional workers, and those who elect to lend their talents to the U.S. economy should be welcomed with open arms, not given a bureaucratic runaround. Yet the roughly 65,000 workers who enter the United States each...

I have a currently pending extension at VSC right now, if it meant I had to wait an extra 30 days before they process it I'd be happy to wait that out should it mean a 3 yr term rather than 1, but I'd guess this would only take effect for petitions received after 30 days..?

That would be awesome

I have to assume that things are ok until I hear otherwise, they have not updated their processing times and until I fall out of their timeframe I dont want to put extra worry on myself. In the past week I have probably checked the processing dates 20 times at least and re-examined the i_129...

Yeah, mine was mailed to Vermont. That I seem to be about 2 weeks behind you makes me think I am going to get a RFE or something, why else would the times be so staggered? I've also checked my status online with them (still pending, not touched since May 17th) and via their phone service...

Lucky you, I havent had any update on mine yet. Mailed in begining of May, receipt notice date of May 14th.
