Hi! I'm sorry, this has probably been asked before but I can't seem to find a clear answer online. I will be attending school in the US, and have received my i20 from the school recently (will be coming on F-1 status). However, I also have vacation plans in the US in the coming weeks. I haven't signed the form or paid my SEVIS fee or anything yet, but I wanted to confirm, is it possible for me to still enter the US for my vacation? I will be on vacation for only a couple of days, and will then return to my home country. That leaves a few months before my earliest admission date on my i20 from ..read more

I'd rather not go into the reasons we are getting divorced other than to say we trust each other and we love each other and this is particularly difficult for us. My husband naturalized 2 years ago based on 3 year rule. We have 2 kids, both are dual citizens. If we divorce now, can he lose his citizenship? If he renews his passport from the other country, can he lose his citizenship? His home country allows dual citizenship. We are not sure about the US. submitted by /u/Maleficent-Sea2255 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

But if needed I could try and ask them. submitted by /u/Expensive-Space-8940 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello, thank you reading this. I have completed my first graduate certificate program in Ontario and have my second program starting in Fall, 2024. Unfortunately, I have to go home during my second program and I cannot do anything about it.

What concerns me is the announcement that IRCC came out with regarding online education. The website reads "Study time completed from abroad starting September 1, 2023, will be deducted from the length of their PGWP, regardless of when a stu ..read more

Considering the opportunity, we're thinking it might be a good time for me to also try to apply for a tourist visa. Planning to stay for 7-10 days We have 3 kids, although we don't plan to bring them with us at this time He will be completely sponsored, I won't so I'm kind of on my own here...although his company is willing to send me an invitation letter if that would help (they might be willing to pay for my trip too, but we don't kn ..read more

I feel strongly that genuine immigrants who want a better life for themselves and children should appreciate the fact they have been given an opportunity to no longer indure living in a country that offer them nothing and endangered their life.. so when they constantly act like thugs and violence towards the community in a country that gave them a second chance for a good life is disgusting.. why send them to jail at the taxpayers expense.. l sure if we started deporting people then maybe it would have an impact and an appreciation for the second chance they were given.. No l'm no a racist ..read more
