Middle East and North AfricaMetrosexual ME/NAs?!
"Metro" doesn't mean effeminate. It's just a term coined a few years ago to describe the sort of guy who is straight, but would get a facial or a manicure or pay for an expensive hair wax. Taking care of your appearance was coded as gay for a while, hence the term, but metrosexual doesn't mean flamboyant.

Think a well-dressed trendy guy in Manhattan.

Middle East and North AfricaMENA Country Stats on VJ

Does anybody have an explanation why there is only such a small number for people from Tunisia? Especially compared to Morocco?



I have no clue but when you look at it on the map it's wicked tiny.


Might have something to do with poverty levels. May not be as many guys looking to get out of Tunisia. Just a wild guess.


Economics tends to drive immigration even in the family class, even when no fraud at all is involved. That tends to drive immigration even in the family classes of visas.

But Morocco has also been a more popular tourist destination for Americans, too, so that's probably most of it.

Middle East and North AfricaDid you know that SO from the Middle East
If we're talking government policy, then it's not a matter of a right to bigoted speech, but what should be security practice by the government.

I don't think profiling on flights is likely to lead to any arrests nor meaningfully increase security; if the person in question has managed to obtain a visa and get onto a flight, a background check in flight is unlikely to reveal anything. The terrorist groups out there aren't stupid. If they're sending someone on a mission to the U.S., you can guarantee that person will have a lily-white record; the 9/11 guys certainly did. All the profiling in the world wouldn't have prevented 9/11, because these guys were selected pretty much not to throw up any flags.

It seems a little ridiculous to me to run a background check on people who already have been through six months of processing, but I suspect that the check is run on flights, not on individuals; so it's a check of everything out of Cairo, including significant others, businessment, tourists, etc. I don't know if it's policy for all flights; I suspect not, and that resources come into play eventually.

CanadaSkype Calls and other proof of bonafide relationship
1) It's tempting to make it all about immigration, but remember there's a marriage and a relationship at the end of this. You should meet in person because you think you like this person enough to be married to them; you have to meet in person before you file (generally speaking), but that really should be quite secondary. smile.gif

2) Canadian-American couples tend, as a general rule, to have spent more time in person, to speak the same language, to be a similar age. Add to that the fact that any Canadian looking to get to the U.S. can do so very easily, there's not a huge risk of fraud and not much scrutiny. The burden of proof is still on you but you're not having to overcome a lot of hurdles.

3) We sent in a relatively thin file: evidence of several meetings (plane ticket stubs), a couple of months of phone records, four photos.

CanadaRenewing Cdn passport WHILE residing in the USA
I've heard it said that the stereotype of the rude, obnoxious American tourist is partly due to American tourists being boorish, but also British tourists being mistaken for Americans (Anglophone is Anglophone, and not everyone is always clear who is who), and partly due to American foreign policy/international reputation. Canadians have a different reputation; it results in different expectations.

I also think that trailmix is right regarding confirmation bias: it's a fairly well-documented psychological/sociological phenomenon that one will notice that which confirms one's stereotypes. So if you believe that Americans are boorish loud tourists, you'll put more weight on the boorish loud American tourists you experience ("see? I knew it!") than your experiences with the nice quiet polite ones.

In any event, I believe that a Canadian citizen would have to enter Canada on their Canadian passport, so that's a reason to keep it renewed, and I believe it's also a little bit easier to stay in the UK and Australia.

I would say "fiancee" over "boyfriend", if you say anything, mostly because it gives you the follow-up "yes, sir, we are planning to file the K-1 (or whatever) soon" option.

It's not that Canadians never commit fraud (I heard somewhere once that Canadians are some of the worst immigration violators proportionally, but it's mostly overstays), but that if a Canadian really wants to get to the U.S., it's very easy to do, so there's no particular reason to dupe an American into a visa.

^^ I know you are so right. I just really need to get over it and get some cards and teach myself not to spend what I don't have. I think I'll still wait until I have a job at least.... so I'm not tempted...



C. had a history of being very bad with credit, but we got him a card with a low limit anyway so he can build a history of paying it off in full every month. We set up e-mail and text message alerts so he could get a mental sense of his balance and what he could afford, and I (with very good credit) reminded him.

When we recently applied for a car loan, we had some trouble because of his short (~16 month) credit history, but between our joint income and my credit rating we were able to get both of us on a car loan. That's going to do more for his credit file than a credit card.

So if you get something with a low limit and just use it for essentials (maybe it's your "groceries-only" card) and pay it off IN FULL, you can start building your credit history without too much risk.

The bank did tell us to be careful with store cards, because while they're very easy to get, they're also very ruthless about reporting to credit agencies, so they could be a risky choice for someone just starting out, if the person isn't good with credit.

CanadaTaxes and form 2555 Excluding foreign earned income
Last year we used TurboTax, but when I noticed that the AGI and the tax projected by the tax tables didn't line up, I calculated it by hand by looking up the tables in the 1040.

Essentially, if you're excluding foreign income, you don't use the usual tables, you use the tables on page 37 first, which calculate a different number that taxes some of your income at a higher rate (if you've jumped tax brackets.) In our case the difference was almost $700, because C. had earned $20K in Canada.

The numbers *are* different, and TurboTax uses the number that uses the secondary table on page 37. Foreign income is *not* straightforwardly invisible.

Definitely run it through a program; the income exclusion is sometimes better, but it's not a straight "we don't count this income". Income that isn't excluded will be partially taxed at a higher marginal rate. (This makes sense, if you think about it: if you made 80,000 overseas, and 10,000 here, it wouldn't make sense to treat you as if you only made below poverty level wages.) There's a formula for it in the 1040.

CanadaLess Harassment When Crossing By Land or Air???
"The only real racism is against white men" is such a tired trope. Context matters a lot, and if we lived in a society where "scary white guy" was a common stereotype and rhetorical trope, it would have the same resonance as "scary black man", but we don't, so it doesn't. Likewise, who is doing the uttering matters a lot (you can compliment your wife in a way her boss can't), as well as the intention with it is uttered (hence why if I playfully call my sister a dork she'll take it differently than if a girl she doesn't get along with calls her a dork.)

That said, I don't think Rhiann's original comment was doing anything more than providing a description of the border patrol guy, who can be scary for lots of reasons, and things spiraled from there.

I don't think you need to register the car to find out whether it's importable; your dad or whoever the owner is could get the letter of compliance now if you wanted. You just need the VIN (and that's on the title and on the car.)

But if you're just borrowing the car, you don't need to do all that, because you're not importing the car or planning to. It might not be a bad idea to have a letter from your dad handy that explain you're borrowing the car to move down and you'll definitely want to check the insurance information.

Once your I-94 has expired, and if you have not yet filed your AOS application, if you are stopped at any ID check and asked to prove immigrant status, you could be detained and/or deported. It has happened recently when someone else on a K1 didn't have the money right away to file AOS.

If you can beg borrow or steal the money, get it done as soon as humanly possible. The US is not a kind place to be lately if you are "undocumented".


Ditto. To make it painfully clear, "just didn't file in time" equals "out of status" equals "illegal alien" in the common parlance. (Many, many undocumented workers crossed legally on a visa and overstayed.) By marriage you have an easy path to a green card, but if you don't file it, get stopped, and run into someone who wants to make an issue of it, being married alone won't stop the process.

CanadaWorking for Canadian Company
We had a similar situation, except that while the employer was Canadian, the physical work was also in the U.S. It was my understanding that because the work was occurring in the U.S., C. needed U.S. work authorization, even if the employer was Canadian.

Online work is a little weird, and I don't think the law's caught up, but back when I was researching this the interpretation ended up being that either you ended up counting as self-employed (and thus hiring yourself without work authorization), or that you were working in the U.S. illegally for a foreign employer. It's not like a businessperson here on vacation who checks his e-mail or calls a client while here, because the K-1 isn't a tourist visa. The work, under one interpretation, would be being done in the U.S. because that's your new place of residence.

To be honest, I'm still not sure. We ended up getting work authorization so it became a moot point, but it's not something I'd want to try without serious legal counsel first, even if just to sort out the tax situation. (Kathryn, as I understand it, your vacation days already (or plausibly already) counted as earned. Here, at least, the vacation and overtime is accrued per pay period, even if you don't cash out till much later. So you were on the payroll, but not working, just getting reimbursed for what was due.)

Illegal work isn't usually a bar to adjustment of status, but that doesn't make it totally innocuous, either.

I will say that C. found the adjustment rough because he went from being part of a very large extended family outside of Edmonton to being here with me, and the sense of loss and frustration he felt at times (like when his grandmother was sick and he wasn't there, or when his uncle was diagnosed with cancer) were very strong. What Sean is feeling is not uncommon, especially if he's been unemployed while waiting on the immigration paperwork. Get yourselves into counseling, or go on your own.

The only words of advice I have for you pertain to the counselling.

If you want counselling, I would recommend that you get counselling with a minister at a church of whichever religion you belong to. Even if you are not a religious person. They may be able to offer you spiritual conselling and you can talk the situation out until you reach a good point on the matter.

Counsellors based on psychology or psychiatry will only end up with you hooked on dangerous drugs like anti-depressants which will only destroy your mind and your body. So please don't go this route - you are not feeling the way you're feeling because you have a deficiency of drugs in your system. Make sure your "counsellor" is able to deal with your issues, and is not just a pill-pusher. I have seen too many people ruin their lives this way - when all they wanted was help to begin with. Drugs are not the answer to your problem.

Good luck!


Different forms of treatment work for different people. I know people who can't function without anti-depressants; I know people for whom they don't work. I know people for whom talking to a priest or minister worked wonders; I know others for whom it didn't.

Either one of those is enough to put a ton of strain on a marriage. I agree with whoever it was that said his apparent anger at you is probably a mixture of frustration at the situation and his own inability to make it all better, and I think one thing you should do is get counseling for yourself (and maybe him, too), so that he isn't your only source of support.

I was a student when we met, so I know the money issues well; I just meant that it's not like she's barred from visiting the U.S. as is the case in some countries where a tourist visa is nigh impossible to get (often the justification for K-1s after short periods of knowing each other.)

I could see someone getting married just to see how it goes, but that's hard to square with her stated desire to have the perfect shiny wedding. More info, OP! There's several things that could be the issue here. Not ready to be married, ready to be married but not in a position to afford a big party right now, worries that the fiancee visa takes all the romance out of it. If it's the latter two, there are many people who have been in the position who have had parties later or managed to have traditional weddings. If it's the former, just know what the terms of the visa are, because while visits back and forth aren't cheap, neither is a K-1.

Most people I know knew they were getting engaged when the man "proposed." As in, it's not really a surprise.

But I did want to say that doing the immigration thing doesn't have to mean that you don't have any romance. You can see that I signed up for VJ sometime in March 2006. We got engaged in August 2006; we'd obviously talked about it, but he proposed, with a ring, down on one knee, when I visited that summer.

We filed for the visa in September and received it the following February and did the big floofy wedding in July. White dress, reception, everything. So it's possible.

All that aside, I'm a little confused by your latest post. The K-1 is for fiance(e)s; it's not a getting-to-know you visa since you have to be married within 90 days of crossing the border. And you're Canadian, so you can go for visits without a K-1.... so is the issue here with immigration, or with him not wanting a big expensive party?

No, a driver's license is not proof of citizenship, only proof of residency.

Once again, if her only FEDERAL ID that she has is a British passport, as far as ICE is concerned, she is BRITISH, not Canadian. And therefore will be treated as a BRIT. Because she entered with a driver's license and not a passport, there is no proof of the day she entered or even that she entered with inspection, and because she of course won't have an I-94W in her passport, she will be considered here illegally, and will be sent packing. To Britain.

Unless of course she leaves now without fanfare and goes back to Canada. I'd highly suggest she go by land, because if she tries to go by air, the airline will be looking for the I-94W to take from her passport, which she doesn't have and she'll have to explain why. Possibly to ICE at the airport.


I'm sorry, but I don't see how this follows. You're right that if that all she can prove is that she is British, then, in the event she were to be deported (and we're skipping over the common option of voluntary departure for some unknown reason), she'd go to the UK. But if she crossed the border using only her Canadian driver's license (and birth certificate?), that's the status that would be in effect (as in, she was admitted as a Canadian, with a permissible six month stay, and she's now out of status from that date, not the status she would have had as a British citizen.)

You seem to want to turn this into an issue where she entered-without-inspection merely by possessing an British passport, but that's not how it works. E.g., I have a friend who holds dual Iranian-Canadian citizenship. He is here on an F-1 or J-1, which is tied to his Canadian passport. He entered on that visa, and that's what determines his status. That's still his status even if he loses his Canadian passport; he wouldn't turn into an illegal immigrant from Iran. If he overstays his visa (which he's not), he's someone who overstayed the terms based on his visa in his Canadian passport, not a EWI from Iran.

I'm not arguing that she should stay, but merely not having an I-94 isn't sufficient to make her EWI. Proving legal entry and citizenship would be a separate issue, but that's why deportation proceedings involve courts and time (and not merely ICE putting your butt on a plane.)
