Hi Everyone,
I have recently received a job offer from the US, and the immigration lawyer has strongly advised me to file with USCIS. His argument was that my file will be reviewed by the USCIS even after I received an approval at the border, and can be potentially denied. He continued that if such a situation I will have only 24 hours to leave the US! I find this line of argument a bit puzzling since:
a- I have searched extensively and even wrote a bot to help me with the search, but I have not found a single instance of such a case happening. I was wondering if anybody has ever heard of such a case, and if not, whether this is at least a viable hypothetical possibility?
b- I am also puzzled by the consequences of being denied by the USCIS, since I am a Canadian citizen, and I should be able to stay in the US at least as a visitor. So I don't see why I should leave the country in 24 hours.
Can you please help?
Thanks
