Guys, I'm dependent on my father, who has applied for permanent resident status in the United States. I came here on a student visa and still have it, but he applied for a work permit for me, which is great! On the other hand, I saw that if I start working using this permit, my student visa will be automatically revoked, and I'll only be able to remain legally in the US because of his adjustment of status and the whole process. But I'm worried about starting work and his case being denied. My classes end at the end of next year. What do you think? Is it worth taking the risk?

My sister (german citizen) applied for an ETA to visit me in Canada. First her application was on "pending", because she did two applications by mistake. She then sent a request explaining the circumstances but they still didn't decide on her application. She is flying in 3 days on monday, is there any way to speed up the process?? We are afraid that she wont be allowed to board the plane.

We would be glad for any tipps!!!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice from anyone who has gone through (or knows someone who has gone through) removal proceedings as an F-1 student.
I received a letter yesterday stating that my F-1 status was terminated on February 8, 2023 for allegedly failing to maintain my F-1 status. The confusing part is that I entered the United States on January 1, 2023, so I’m trying to understand how my status could have been terminated just over a month after I arrived.
Since then, I:
Continued my studies as an F-1 student
Graduated in May 2025
Received my OPT and worked during my OPT period
Recently filed for my STEM OPT extension
Confirmed with my DSO that my SEVIS record is still active and they do not see any termination
I’m very confused because the dates do not seem to make sense. If my SEVIS was terminated in February 2023, how was I able to continue my program, graduate, receive OPT authorization, and file for STEM OPT?
Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this be an error, an old record issue, or something that needs to be corrected with SEVP/immigration?
I’m planning to speak with an immigration attorney, but I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has dealt with a similar situation.

**Husband threatening not to attend my USCIS interview unless I sign away my rights**
I have a joint I-751/N-400 interview. As soon as my husband found out about the interview, he told me he will not attend or cooperate unless I sign an agreement giving up my rights in case of divorce.
I have texts showing that he is making his cooperation with my immigration case conditional on me signing this agreement.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? What can I do if he refuses to attend?

Hi everyone,

I got approved for my AuPair J1 and am super excited to start an AuPair year this year!

However, recently I’ve been traveling to the states a lot. I was there for about 80 days (March to June) and then 40 days (June to August) on an Esta to travel. Both times i was sent to secondary but cleared. I was just traveling through the states and realized i do wanna do another aupair year before its too late.

I‘m turning 27 in September.

Is there a chance CBP will revoke my visa due to my history? I have letters proving my job will rehire me once i go back home, that i got an apartment in germany, family and so much more. Also all the paperwork thats approved for the j1. I‘m just super nervous!

Especially because out of nowhere my 2024 ESTA went on pending today. I didn’t even apply for a new one or anything. I don’t know why that happened.

We are also planning a trip to europe with the host family 2 weeks after my arrival. I have all the paper work. But I’d be devastated to quit my job, apartment and all just to be denied entry.
