Your fact pattern raises alot of red flags that will undoubtedly receive extra scrutiny from immigration officers. Best to retain an attorney to handle the case.

There is no set deadline by which to open probate, but filing sooner rather than later is always best because you need to gather a lot of information and things like bank statements are harder to get the longer you wait. So May 31st will be just fine. Best wishes!

Sorry to hear about this. However it sounds like the type of case that you need to talk with an immigration lawyer about before another overseas trip. You should take all documents related to the case where you waited in jail for a week. The lawyer will look at everything and advise about what is a... Read more »

You may need to apply for a returning resident visa rather than reapplying for residency altogether depending on the length of time you were outside of the US and the basis for the departure. Best to consult with an attorney for guidance.
Presently she is in the process of taking care of personal details and this may impact those 180 days. Would there be a problem if she does not spend 6 months here in the first year?

Congrats to her. She can return to Canada to finish her business there.
