Sponsorship For Parent Due To Health Reasons

Mel — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:57:23 +0000

I am a full citizen but, my parents are not. My father has recently been diagnosed with cancer and I’m afraid that the treatments available to him back in our homeland are very limited. I want to bring him here for treatment and have no set timeline for how long he may remain in the country due to the uncertainty of his reaction to the procedures. What are my options? And, how do I begin this process?

To immigrate to the United States from Canada I need a sponsor. The problem is I have no family nor do I have a company willing to sponsor me in the United States. Is it possible to have a friend that is an American citizen to sponsor me?

Green Card Rejection

Zach H. — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:56:19 +0000

Can a Green Card be rejected under the suspicion of spousal infidelity? I recently had gotten married to my husband who came here from Peru. Our courtship was amazing but, soon after we had gotten married I began to notice that he was spending a lot more time away from home. It was then I realized he had been cheating on me. Once I was able to prove this, the reality settled in that he had used me to obtain a Green Card. However; his Green Card has yet to be issued and we are still waiting on the final paper work. Can a Green Card be rejected under these conditions?

Canadian on TN to marry US citizen

aaht — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 16:18:18 +0000

I am a Canadian citizen working in US for several years on TN. I just changed my TN last month because I switched job and I am getting married to a US citizen next month. My fiance and I plan to visit parents overseas after wedding and worry about changing of status afterwards, but I just found out that might not work as I may not be admitted with my TN again when i return. What should I do then? Am I automatically lost my TN after I got married to a US citizen or can I keep my TN? or can I apply for green card? it’s less than 2 months between my new TN and the wedding date and I am worried that could be a problem.

Thanks

If a Canadian has entered the U.S. as a visitor, is it possible to apply for the fiancee visa while there, or would the Canadian have to go back to Canada to start the process? Thanks.

Can you get into Canada if you have a DUI?

Jessica — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:12:00 +0000

My new boyfriend has a DUI on his record from three years ago in the state of California. We are planning a ski trip to Canada and I have been told that he is going to get stopped at the border. I do not want my vacation to be ruined. Please tell me if he will not be allowed into Canada because he has a DUI.

What Changes were made to Canadian Immigration Regulations in 2012?

Jeff Bernard — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:04:00 +0000

Hello,

I am happy to have found your forum. I have a question regarding immigrating to Canada with a DUI on my record.

I have a job opportunity in Halifax and was under the impression that I would not be able to immigrate to Canada to work due to a past DUI on my record. A friend of mine told me that there were some changes to entry regulations in 2012 that effect people with a DUI? Is my friend correct? I am looking to find some accurate information that may help me pursue my dream of working in Canada.

Thank you!

Jeff
