Hello everyone, just need some advice. I am a canadian citizen came to the U.S on the 12/19/2009 by land through the border at Buffalo, married to a us citizen on the 01/12/2010. My question is, can my U.S. spouse sponsor me now while i am living with her in the U.S. Can anyone advice me on this? thank you.

You married a US citizen 24 days after entering as a visitor? Was this marriage pre-planned? You intend to file for AOS or immigrant visa via Montreal?

Read the thread that are like:

September filers 2008

November filers 2008

and so on....

read all this type of forums and they will help you..


Join one of those forums as well..

there is a quite documentation right now I don't have it on the top of my head....

Passport
I-94
I-485 form
I-130 form
and others forms find out on the threads I suggested you.
 
Here is the list of forms:
✓Form I-130, “Petition for Alien Relative”: the form that the American citizen files to initiate the green card process.
✓Form I-131, “Application for Travel Document”: a request to the USCIS to allow the alien (the spouse of the American citizen) to travel outside the U.S. while the application in pending. Also known as “Advance Parole”.
✓Form I-693, “Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record”: a form that the alien submits to a civil surgeon (a doctor who has been designated by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services).
✓Form I-864 or I-864EZ, “Affidavit of Support”: a form that the American citizen files to show that he or she makes enough money to support their spouse.
-In case that the spouse has been working in the U.S. for more than 10 years form I-864W can be used instead.
-In case that a household member is a joint sponsor, because primary sponsor lacks financial resources, form I-864A is needed too.
✓Form I-765, “Application for Employment Authorization”: if the alien spouse does not have a work visa (for example an H1B visa), this form can be used to request employment authorization card.
✓Form G-325, “Biographic Information”: both the American citizen and the alien spouse need to fill the biographic information form as part of the application.
✓Form I-485, “Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status”: the form that the alien spouse (the spouse of the American citizen) files to request a status change to Permanent Residence (green card).


good luck.
