Q: I am a Canadian citizen. I married my husband a few months ago in New York. The problem is that my husband has no status in USA and we are afraid to initiate sponsorship proceedings for fear that he may be deported from the USA. How can he obtain medical exam and police clearance if he is illegal in USA?
A: If you are married, go ahead and file the sponsorship. The Canadian government will not contact the USA government to deport him. Unless there is some sort of criminal issue, it does not work like that. Medicals and clearances can be obtained in the USA even if one does not have status but you must utilize the correct forms.

I arrived last July 16,2009 and the remarks written in my work permit is “issue 39 months w/p from the date of entry.” I was also affected by the rumors. I am confused now, I don’t know if I am eligible to apply for my permanent residency here or not. How should I know?
