Six years ago, I filed an I-526 petition seeking permanent status through the investor stream. Around the same time, I immigrated to Canada and later obtained Canadian citizenship. Fast-forward to two weeks ago, and my I-526 petition was approved under my original Vietnamese passport (with a 10-year US tourist visa). Now that I am already in the U.S. traveling (having entered using my Canadian passport), I am considering filing for adjustment of status rather than going through consular processing in Canada or Vietnam. Given my I-526 petition was tied to my Vietnamese passport, could there be any issues since I entered the US with my Canadian passport two months ago?

Find the Best EB5 Visa LawyersFor the purposes of I-485, your country of birth (not citizenship) is relevant to determine when the visa is available to you. If your citizenship changed, you just submit your new passport with your I-485 and make sure to mention all your citizenship in the immigration forms.
