Driving by car to Canada with Greencard
Hello to all. I decided to test my Greencard to see if it was real by traveling to Canada😎😄😎So once the mailman dropped my card in the mail, I kicked off almost immediately. I was all excited when I reached the borders in Detroit Michigan. I presented my Greencard to the border agent who asked me the purpose of my trip, who I was visiting, where I was headed and how long I would be there. I had my passort but wasn't asked. My car was searched by 3 agents before I was allowed to continue to Toronto. I just chilled and enjoyed around the hotels, bars and restaurants in Toronto after after all those years of Suffering in America lol. My return trip to the US two days later was very smooth and enjoyable. Good luck to all those still in the process.

Approved I-360, Denied I-485, Rejected I-290b
Approved I-360 in 2022 USCIS denied my I-485 once so I resubmitted second I-485 was denied because I didn’t appear for an interview. However, I never received any mail about an interview, nor does my case status say anything about an interview. It literally went from “We received your response to the I-485 (my medical exam)” to “Your case was denied.” I filed Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion. The first time it was rejected because I didn’t submit the fee. I refiled with a screenshot from USCIS and a letter explaining that VAWA-based cases have a $0 filing fee. The USCIS website (G-1055 fee schedule) states there is no fee for VAWA based cases. No fee for the I-360 or an I-290B appealing an I-360, and no fee for an I-485 based on a filed/approved I-360 or an I-290B appealing an I-485 based on an approved I-360. They rejected I-290b a second time and returned everything, including a letter stating: “We are returning your Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal of Motion, to you because you did not submit the $800 fee. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has established an expedited process for reviewing and correcting decisions resulting from certain administrative errors made by the agency. This process enables you to request an expedited review of your case and correction of the decision where USCIS data entry and/or an administrative error resulted in a denial of your petition or application. Once USCIS has received an expedited review request from you, the agency will make every effort to take action on the request within 5 business days.” What is this? I can’t find any information about this “expedited process.” I didn’t request it, and nothing on the form mentions it. There’s no indication anywhere that a fee applies to VAWA-related forms. Can anyone explain what’s going on here? I’ll call USCIS in the morning, but I don’t expect much, they never seem to know anything. This is so frustrating. Im so tired of this, so I packed almost all my stuff and will move soon to another country, but just curious maybe someone knows what is going on
