| Biometrics Scheduled: | June 2012 |
| Employment Authorization / Travel Card Issued: | July 2012 |
| Interview Date: | Aug. 2012; rescheduled for Sept. 2012 @ USCIS - Buffalo, NY office. Approved at interview. |
| Green Card Received: | Oct. 2012 |
| Processing Time: | 4-months, 15-days |
| Citizenship: | Canada |
| TN Visa Category: | Psychologist |
| TN Visa Validity Period: | Valid until Oct. 2014 |
| Case History / Issues: | Applicant had last entered U.S. under TN visa status in Oct. 2011. I believed filing an adjustment of status application was appropriate because: (i) the passage of time between the last TN visa entry and the adjustment filing; and (ii) the applicant did not intend to file for adjustment of status when seeking admission to the U.S. under TN visa status at that time. (Other issues were assessed as well, but are not addressed here). |
