Hello
I have a slightly unusual question, and some people might think that I overthink things, but the truth is, my husband and I have had so many negative experiences as of late that we now question everything.
I will condense this as quickly as I can. My husband is a Canadian Native American and I am a dual citizen (Canada/USA) but I was born in Canada. We have lived and worked in both countries, but a short while ago we both lose our jobs and moved up to Canada again to find work.
Due to some complications with something an agent put in his passport (long story), we may have trouble being able to visit or return to the USA together. I don't want to leave without my husband though. Meanwhile, due to circumstances, I have bills that I couldn't take care of as I lost everything in the USA and had to rely on my husband's parents to help me come up here. I have wanted to go back and take care of my business, and also send up our things that are still down there (my family down there is holding them for me). I don't have any super large sums of money I owe, but I am still concerned. I don't want to face something I am not prepared for.
I have heard that citizens of the USA as of late are not being properly served when collections get a judgement from them. The collections are doing this in an underhanded fashion and even lying that they served the paperwork to the individuals and then the individual gets in trouble. If something like that happened to me and I ended up with misdemeanours from not being able to attend court down there, would I still be able to return to Canada as a dual citizen? Yes I know this sounds really paranoid and it probably won't happen as I plan to return soon, but I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about this sort of thing.
Meanwhile my family in the USA is keeping tabs for any paperwork that may come for me. We cannot take care of these matters up here and that is why now that my husband has made some money we want to return and take care of those things.
Can anyone help please? I feel sick every day worrying about all of these issues. Like I said, I'm probably overthinking, but I'd really just like to know so I can stop worrying.
