Hi Jorge, I went out to Canada last month. I had the same feelings as you. I was a little bit nervous and concerned at first. I didn't want to leave but gathered all the courage I could get. The experience was very smooth. The immigration was done at the airport in Canada. There was a long line and my heart was pounding so hard. When I went there, the immigration officer asked what my address was and took my fingerprint. After that took my passport, put in some information in their system and asked me to go. It wasn't what I was expecting! Now I am going back home in July. I have applied for a global entry. They'll take your interview and then you won't have to be in immigration line anymore. I suggest you do the same! Hope this helps!

Good afternoon everyone.
I have a difficult decision to make and need help from whoever has knowledge in this matter. I got verbally approved in 03/2022. My daughter who turned 21 filed an I-130 petition for me. It’s been granted and I would like to move forward. When applying for the cancellation of removal I also filed for the I-485. Now that the I-130 is approved I don’t know if I should cancel the 42B and move on with another I-485 or what the procedure should be exactly. I am very confused as far as wait time for either way.
Please help me figure it out.
Thank you all.

Hi,
I think you need to discuss with your lawyer.

I tried talking to him before I received the approval. He doesn’t know about the time frame. He suggested that I make the decision based on what I explained earlier

Hi,
I would consult with a attorney, if your attorney is not available it might worth to get a opinion from another attorney.
Here’s what I think based on some things I heard before.
1- If the judge has already granted cancellation and you’re just waiting on the granted letter, it may be faster to stay on this route. Your granted letter should be in the next fiscal year, that starts in October.
2-If you’re still in removal proceedings, you typically can’t just file an I-485 through USCIS based on your I-130, unless your case is terminated or administratively closed by the immigration court. You may ask your attorney to file a motion to terminate proceedings based on the approved I-130, then adjust via USCIS. However this is wild card considering the latest with the current administration.
Hopefully you can get in touch with a attorney and be able to clarify, my suggestion is to not take any action without a legal advice.
Good luck!

Thank you for your input.
I’ve been verbally granted already so I am just waiting for the letter.
If taking that route is the best idea it will also be the cheaper since all fees have been fully paid.
I made an appointment with an attorney and will let you know the outcome. My lawyer is not really helpful
