It was a non issue, H4 overstays dont matter. Any land border CBP office fixes it and it also doesnt matter how long the overstay was as long as there was valid i797.

Hi, Me and my wife both have PR. I was wondering what is the residential address proof that is needed for Dropbox? Since we don't live there, we can come for month and get an Airbnb or a hotel. Will that work or what could work as an easy address proof?

Yes, both of us have valid PRs in Canada.

Hi, My wife's passport renewal got delayed and she will be forced to overstay for 7 days in the US until she can get the passport and exit the border. There is a consular shopping bar which applies to anyone who overstays for > 1 day which means one has to return to country of nationality to get...

Exactly on the same boat here. Wife needs H4 stamping, accidentally overstayed her previous valid Visa due to passport expiry issues. Have you already tried the website? I havent but it should tell you if you are eligible for the DropBox. Surely the COPR document is valid for visa drop box...

Whats your current location? Living in Canada and applied to the Canadian US consulate?

1. You can put the date "after" the dropbox appointment when you expect to arrive in the US. The date is about where you apply for visa and AFTER getting it there, when do you first plan to reach America. It can be a rough date. 2. Canada and US 3. Its okay to put your average monthly income...

Sorry about your dad. You only use the latest I797 for visas, not older ones. So if you have the new one in hand, use its number everywhere. Carry the old one + new one with you for drop box. You visa appointment date has nothing to do with the dates of your old and new I797. When they pull up...

No idea why you are paranoid about having Canadian PR but US Consulate will not reject your visa cause you have some country's PR. 1. Yes anyone who had any visa stamped before is eligible for Drop Box. When you finally get to applying the visa on the site, it will guide you towards drop box...

Have you tried getting an appointment in Canada itself? I dont think there is any "drop box can only be availed in location X if last visa is in location X" rule anymore.

None. AVR always works if you dont break the narrow exceptions (having a pending result of a visa interview at a consulate or not limiting your travel to only canada), its an immigration law. It doesn't depend on how many people recently had a successful AVR process.

Yeah discretionary travel is still on. Please always check https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid

1. Mostly they wont it seems like since mailing the PR card and receiving it requires YOUR signature. They didn't mail mine. 2. Yeah you tell the IRCC about a change of address when you finally reach there. You will get your PR Card no worries. None of the paperwork here is something you will...

Okay so disclaimer is that I am not an immigration attorney. So take this with a pinch of salt. BUT if you have status in the US, lets say H1B you are barred from earning "active income" anywhere else in the world other than your current employer. Which means if you actively work for an Indian...

Yeah approx value.. all the values I put are in less than their actual price. Its paperwork, just helps them to speed up things later. No one is interested in verifying how expensive your old couch is.
