U.S. Visas for Canadians

Immigration between the United States and Canada is not something that Canadians and Americans think about as much as people from other countries. This is largely because Americans and Canadians can move between each others countries so freely. However, this open border can create a false sense of security or give Canadians a sense that the U.S. immigration laws with respect to Canadians are different or special. In fact, while there are some special visa provisions for Canadians, U.S. immigration laws with respect to Canadians are otherwise the same as they apply to all other countries.

Adjustment of Status to Green Card while on 2nd Trip on same B2

Thank you so much for your helping with my urgent immigration question!

In the interest of clarity, I’d like to offer a quick summary regarding the crux of my concern:

My wife of two+ years, an Indonesian citizen, arrived on a B2 visa into the U.S. together with me, a U.S. citizen, last April (2011) with the intention of staying for a period of 6-ish months and then returning together to Indonesia to work and live. In the meantime, we have decided to stay on here in the U.S. instead of returning to her country or to a third country.

Change to Tourist (Visitor) Visa (B2)

Hi,

I have a few questions regarding change of status.

I am a 28-year-old male from Belgium, currently on a F1 student visa. I came first to the US in March 2007 on a J1 visa (and DS-2019 form), valid for 1 year. I extended this visa (and received a new DS-2019 form) for another year (valid until March 2009.)

AOS

Posted Mon, 04/11/2011 - 10:30 by seattle123

Hello,
My girlfriend entered the U.S legally in Oct 2010 as a B1/B2 visitor. We got engaged in Jan 2011 and I applied for her K 1 visa in Feb 2011. I was wondering if it would be OK to get married while she is here and apply for an AOS? Would her intent at the time of entry be a problem?
Thanks,

H-1B stamping after expressing asylum intent and B-1/2 denial

Posted Tue, 03/29/2011 - 21:21 by New Commer

I am a Non US Citizen/Perm Resident Physician with US residency training (completed on H-1B in 2004) and American Board Certification currently living in home country. I had to ask the US embassy in my home country by writing a letter in October 2010 about procedure for getting political asylum due to persecution I was facing. They replied asylum application is possible only for those present in US. Then six months ago I found a job in the US and applied for B-1 for job interview 3 months after I asked about asylum.

K3 Visa Questions

Posted Wed, 02/16/2011 - 20:02 by bigasg

My girlfriend from Mexico has a tourist visa that expires October 23, 2011. She is planning to travel to the US on August 12. We are planning on getting married while she is here and filing for her to get a spouse visa. The questions that we have are:

1. Will she need to renew her tourist visa prior to traveling here in August?
(She was told that it had to be renewed 6 months prior to expiration)

2. What documents will she need to bring with her in order for us to get married?
