Canada	i can haz tax advice?	C. working for a Canadian company as a K-1 authorized to work. Since he worked for them before, they just issued his paycheck in Canadian funds and took out all of the Canadian taxes under his SIN and all the rest. Now, obviously, since we're in the U.S., they have to cut us a new check in American funds because I am neither sitting on a check for six weeks for it to clear or having Bank of America charge us a fee.... But C. will still owe taxes to Canada, right? So should I have them withhold his Canadian taxes or his American ones? They've had him fill out a W-4 and he has his SSN, but I'm wondering if it might be better for him to stay 'Canadian' with this employer. Anyone else in a similar boat? Anyone have a link to a decent summary about how taxes work with a couple that's straddling a border? Get US Taxes withheld if they're willing to do that. Getting Canadian Taxes witheld would be much more expensive. If he's working in the US, there will be no Canadian taxes due once he enters the US and leaves Canada. In fact, if he's going to live in the US, it would be MUCH better if they didn't withold anything, pay you in full and send your US taxes to the IRS and to the State yourself. Having Canadian taxes witheld while you're living and working in the US is bad...	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-07-02 15:52:00
Canada	Passport for minor	Hopefully he got the message over the weekend that he really needs to talk to Passport Canada. What kind of letter do you think we'll need, zyggy? Since this is Canada, will that letter need to be witnessed and signed by twelve different doctors or professionals that has known all of us for over 3 years? I'd imagine she'll have to go back to court to change the court order, too. Maybe we can have him give up his rights already now instead of later. How would visitation rights and waiting for Advance Parole to come in work? Sorry... No passport no K-2. You're going to somehow get him to talk to Passport Canada. You're going to need his permission for you to adopt her as you'll need him to voluntarilly sever his parental rights. You're going to need a letter from him to get the K-2 visa as well... Somehow, you're going to need to find out what it will take to get him to cooperate, or it's going to be along road for you both.. I'm not sure of the specifics as I did not have to do it myself, but the consulate will require a signed letter, witnessed by a Notary Public that he consents to the Child immigrating to the US. About the visitation, most others have worked it out that there will be additional visitiation to make up for what was lost while they were waiting for AP. But the specifics of that have to be worked out between the two parents.	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-06-25 12:26:00
Canada	Passport for minor	It has been a huge pain trying to get a passport for my future step-daughter. Passport Canada FINALLY at least took the application once we made the trek to an actual Passport Canada branch (in Windsor). The application was signed by my fiancée and the father, now, Passport Canada has called my fiancée and told her that they are cannot reach the father. Well, he rarely answers the phone when my fiancée calls and definitely is not going to pick up the phone for an unknown caller. Will we still be able to get a K-2 if she can't get a passport? This is getting ridiculous. My fiancée has sole custody, and the father hasn't even bothered to see his daughter in about four months or longer. HE moved two and half hours away and doesn't use his visitation, not even when he literally lived around the corner. We want to live together 7.5 miles away and we are faced with all this #######. They were never even married, why does he have this much say in his daughter's life, especially since he doesn't seem to care one bit about it!? Does anyone know how I can go about adopting her so we don't have to deal with that putz? Sorry... No passport no K-2. You're going to somehow get him to talk to Passport Canada. You're going to need his permission for you to adopt her as you'll need him to voluntarilly sever his parental rights. You're going to need a letter from him to get the K-2 visa as well...

Canada	Lease Busters Canada	It's a bad deal all around... Bad, bad, bad.... Don't know what to tell you, but I would try to talk with a dealer about how to get out of a lease by buying the vehicle now... and not some shady "lease buster" deal... remember, you'd still be on the hook for the lease... Reading the lease document it clearly states that if i terminate the lease early I am on the hook for the remainder of the lease payments (about 8K right now). Not really an option. Like I said .. it's a bad deal all around... had to do the same thing with my wife.. we ended up giving it to her brother to drive until the lease was up and had to pony up for his insurance for a year to make the deal work... but were able to transfer the lease over to him after getting hit with a $1,000 transfer fee from GMAC and the couple of grand to pick up his insurance As I said, your dealer may be able to help you on this... but this really is a no win situation... don't be surprised if you have to pay through the nose to make the numbers work out... If you don't know someone who would be able to take over your lease, then going through a broker like Lease Busters is probably your best bet, but just be aware that it will cost you at a minimum the transfer fee, some lease payments and other cash on the hood plus lease busters fee... don't be surprised if it will cost you $3 to 4 k to get out of your lease...

Canada	Adjustment of Status on TN-1 Visa	OK, that makes some sense; I think getting married in the US first is the best route. So, if I file AOS while on a TN visa, technically, I should no longer be working until I receive an EAD, at which point I could resume my position. Judging on the time between AOS application an recepit of EAD, that should only be a couple months. My employer is unlikely to know the difference, right? Should I mention anything to them at all, or just show the EAD once it arrives? It sounds like a lot of fuss for such a temporary lapse. Read my message more closely... I don't think your employer would ever know the difference...	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-06-04 07:45:00
Canada	Adjustment of Status on TN-1 Visa	TN status is based on you not having immigrant intent... As soon as you marry a USC and will be moving back to the US, you have that immigrant intent.. Therefore, your TN status is no longer valid and you will not be permitted entry into the US and therefore, you wouldn't be allowed to work...... However, your status as a TN is still valid while you are still in the US, even after you file AOS until it either expires or Permanent Residency is awarded... However, once you leave the US, you will not be permitted reentry... Also once you reenter the US on Advanced Parole, you will no longer be in TN status... But I doubt an employer will be saavy enough to notice the nuances of immigration regulations... I'm sorry to say that you have two choices. You can get married in the US, file for AOS and AP and then go back to Canada for a ceremonial wedding.. or you can go back to Canada, get married, you remain in Canada and then file an I-130 and wait for a CR-1 visa. But getting married in Canada and returning to the US while having TN status is a no-go... Edited by zyggy, 04 June 2007 - 07:23 AM.	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-06-04 07:18:00

Canada	Getting permission for son to immigrate from ex-boyfriend	QUOTE (Jeremy + Kristy @ Aug 27 2007, 12:38 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (misa @ Aug 27 2007, 03:31 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Jeremy + Kristy @ Aug 27 2007, 03:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why doesn't "Sole Custody" mean sole custody. This is absolutely absurd. I guess it's because it's the question of "access"? Even though someone has full custody, the other parent still has "access" to the child (unless there's a restraining order or something). Hopefully you can get it all sorted out in time. Yeah, I realize that. But, in our case, she's moving three miles away. There's no difference in access, except for the wait on the bridge. And, if he did "access" her more often, like every other weekend like it states in the custody papers, I could understand it. He wouldn't even bother seeing his daughter when he lived on the next street over. Yes, you're just moving three miles away now... but once the child has immigrated to the US, the horse has left the corral so to speak. After immigration, there nothing keeping you from moving you and the child to Arizona for instance since Canada courts will have lost jurisdiction over the child. The Consulate needs that permission from the other parent in order to allow them to immigrate...whether you have sole custody or not... because the other parent still has the right to visit and keep a relationship with the child.. you as a custodial parent don't have the right to take that away, but the other parent can give it up...	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-08-29 12:41:00
Canada	Bordertowners UNITE!	Not only officers from down south, but those officers that had quit or retired as well... I had been gone for about 6 months or so.. after 9/11 I got a call from my old Chief pleading for me to come back on a Temporary Part Time basis to help out. Well the patriotic side of me gave in and I "reenlisted" along with some other former officers. I stayed on TPT for another 3 years filling in when needed. When they started ramping up my hours again against the gentleman's agreement that my old boss and I made, I quit again... this time for good...

Canada	Bordertowners UNITE!	Another interesting thing about the differences in our border towns. I have some friends/colleages that I have met through my career that work at Sarnia, Windsor, Fort Erie, PIA that came out to visit me in the Prairies. When they saw my port and then saw the miles and miles of border that is basically only marked with a few cement pillars every 1/4 miles they were wowed. They asked me - well what stops us from walking thru the field across the border if we wanted to? I replied, If you want to - nothing. When I went to Sarnia and Windsor to visit them and saw the river I had to ask, "what is stopping me from swimming across the river or taking a boat across?" They just laughed and replied "Well, if you want to, nothing is." It is really two different worlds from the southern Ontario district to the Prairie district. I remember the long wait on the bridges and tunnel at Windsor/Detroit. Here it's considered a long wait if you would have to wait in line longer than 10 minutes. Also I thought it was crazy at the tunnel where you enter in one city from a street, clear customs, exit in the other city and are on a city street again. Yeah... I know wahat you mean.. during some of our training session we would run into other CBP officers from all these little POE's. They would tell us what they went through and we would just shake our heads and say to ourselves "you have no idea".. However, all the guys on the Mexican border would do the same thing to us...	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-06-04 10:30:00
Canada	Bordertowners UNITE!	We both had NEXUS cards, so that made crossing the border very easy because no one ever asked any questions. If you're going to cross over frequently and your land border supports it, I strongly suggest that you get one. Yeah, maybe we should, anyway. Just, for us, anyway, the majority of the time it seems, the US side NEXUS lane isn't even open. But, $100 for the both of us for 5 years, let us get by easier on holidays and such when there is backups, probably is worth it. Trust me.. it's worth every penny...	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-06-01 12:27:00
Canada	Bordertowners UNITE!	I live in the suburbs of Detroit and my wife lives in Windsor. Luckily we had dated while she was in the States for almost a year, so I got a ton of family letters and pictures that would've worked just fine if they ever asked to actually see them during the "interview." I go and spend every weekend with her, and have for the passed 2 1/2 years, so one can only guess how much friggin money the Ambassador Bridge and Tunnel people have made from me. My wife and I were also Detroit/Windsor... We both had NEXUS cards, so that made crossing the border very easy because no one ever asked any questions. If you're going to cross over frequently and your land border supports it, I strongly suggest that you get one. But in crossing over, I had a little inside advantage, I used to work at the land border as an officer, so most of the officers knew me and my wife and knew what we were doing and planning, so it made life pretty easy. If you want proof of your visiting for you petition, you could use ATM and gas receipts.. those work really good..

Canada	Michigan Licensed Driver driving Canadian-titled vehicle?	I know that Canadian regulations do prohibit it (Canadian driving US titled vehicles). As far as US regulations, I knew of Canadian Construction surperintendents driving US trucks across the border all the time. Regulations regarding trucking is from the US DOT and is usually enforced by the individual states. In Michigan, the Michigan State Police Commercial Carrier Division is responsible for enforcing US DOT regulations. In addition, the enployer's insurance may have something to say about non Canadian drivers driving Canadian titled vehicles in terms of worker's comp coverage, liability coverage, etc.	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-09-24 18:00:00

Canada	POE/K1 Visa Question - Canadian & Detroiter!!	The trick is in the special status that Canadians have.. by Jay's treaty,Canadian citizens do not need a visa to enter the US for up to 6 months and vice versa. This is what makes it different that VWP. With VWP, the US has chosen to allow certain nationals into the US without the need to apply for a visa to be able to visit the US. In essence, they apply for their visa at entry (no pre-approval or screening). In this way, Canadian Citizens are very special. They have a right that no one else in the world has. CBP can revoke VWP for anyone since it is a privilege that CBP extends. They can't revoke entry without visa for Canadians since they have the right to enter without visa by treaty. If a Canadian Citizen is entering the US for any other purpose than to visit, a visa is required. When you get a K1 visa, you have put the US Government on notice of your intention. The question is of intent... once you get the K1, you have a visa that says "I 'm going to live in the US". That no longer makes you a visitor with strong ties to Canada.

Canada	POE/K1 Visa Question - Canadian & Detroiter!!	Zyggy, you've got to be kidding me...having a panick attack here! We have already applied for K1, been approved and are waiting for his interview in Montreal....to start over now would be suicide? I'm so glad to have found you though.....his co. has said they can bring his loads to US once we're married and he's landlocked, but if he applied for AP could he still go back and forth for personal reasons? We have several events, including the holidays, he'd like to be with his family for.... 1 more: once he receives his K1, does he have to use it? ie...can he still come into the states on his passport w/o using the K1??? No.. I am not kidding you... I am VERY serious... you've been caught in the mirage of the ease in which Canadians have been travelling the border... The border is a very serious and complicated place... better that you found out this now than later when you would have gone through a lot more pain in trying to work it out... An individual can only have one visa to enter the US at a time.. for Canadians, they basically have a permanent visa to enter the US as a visitor by their Citizenship... This means that once a K-1 visa is issued, one can no longer be admitted on a visitor visa... in essence, the menas to enter the US on a visitor visa is cancelled. Even though Canadians do not require a visa to enter the US, the same principle stands. Meaning that once the K-1 is issued, once cannot enter the US as a visitor and the K-1 visa must be used on the next entry. Also, you can't get AP right away after entering the US on a K-1, you must get married and file the I-131 with the I-485 for AOS... The I-131 typically takes between 90 and 120 days to be processed. So no crossing over the border until it is approved and you get an I-512 Advanced Parole document. If your fiancee wishes to keep his job, then he cannot have a K-1 unless they're willing to give him about a 4 to 5 month vacation. Sorry, but that's how it goes... You both need to make a decision on what is more important... his job, or you being together earlier. If it's his job, then you have no choice but to scrap the K-1 and move into a K-3 or CR-1... I've been helping out a friend of mine who is also a Canadian trucker and his USC fiancee on this .. in their case, his job was more important, so they got married and just got their interview date for the GC in Montreal. It was the only way he could keep on crossing the border every day to keep his livelyhood... Edited by zyggy, 14 May 2007 - 01:43 PM.	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-05-14 13:36:00
Canada	POE/K1 Visa Question - Canadian & Detroiter!!	K1 and his job are NOT going to work. I'm afraid that you're in a situation where the K1 visa is not for you due to the significant restrictions on travel that come with a K1. You should be cautioned that eventhough people have gotten away with entering the US without it being activated on the Canadian land border, you should know that it is technically not permitted and is essentially the CBP officer looking the other way... any CBP officer may close that route at any time so I would not rely on it if the freedom of travel is important to you which is appears that it is... I am also a Detroiter and worked at both the bridge and the tunnel for many years as what is now a CBP officer... I suggest that you look into getting married first and going for a K3 or the CR-1.

Citizenship and voting is a great responsibility and should be taken seriously... do you think someone should have the ability to vote if they have no idea who or what they are voting for... just a question... English may not be an official language of the US, but it is the language of our government and our political discourse...

You will get denied in no time flat. I know of someone who tried this against my advice and wasted 9 months to find out that they were denied. Your time and money would be better spent to just get married and apply for family class via marriage like most people do. You're going to have to get married first.. definitely apply for out of Canada processing. In-Canada takes forever and leaves you in legal limbo for quite some time.

Canada	Long (5 or 6 mos) visit during application process - what do you think?	QUOTE (warlord @ Oct 17 2007, 02:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well once you marry him, then you will have to file AOS and wait for AP or else you won't get back into the US if you leave. One option is trying to get a B2 visitor visa. Since you still have your house that shows ties to Canada which they'll definatly want. They will be asking where you're going, who you're seeing, how will you support yourself etc, so they may grill you quite a bit at the border. You may be able to get the B2 from an embasy there easier and then you might not have as many questions asked of you once you do cross. If you get denied at the border the first time you will be flagged. Any other repeated attempts will risk getting a 3-10 year ban from entering the US. You do not want to border shop when you are denied, you need to fix the problem and then reapply for the visa after making the neccessary corrections. They should tell you why they are denying your B2. Just look into the B2 and see if that seems to be something you can get as I don't know all the specifics... Actually Canadian Citizens are ineligible for B2 visas due to their special treaty status as the only class of people who are prmitted to enter the US without a visa. The good part about that is Canadians can try all they want to attempt to make entries to the US without penalty (cancelation of visa or VWP privileges)... All you can do is make your case at the POE and see what they say...	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-10-17 16:16:00

So you can get the letter later in the US and subsequently import the vehicle.	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-10-29 16:33:00
Canada	Possibility at U.S. work permit for Canuk hubby	It depends on the visa... TN's and J's definitely not... L's and H-1b's probably... but if you did, you would be throwing your current process out the window and will have to start over again. If it were me, it would depend on how far in I was...	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-11-14 13:19:00
Canada	Canadian student in the US, which VISA?	The best way would be for you to adjust your status on the F-visa once you have married. However, once you do this, do not leave the US until you receive Advanced Parole. WHen you file your I-485 package, you will need to apply for a new EAD based off of your marriage adjustment and AP document.	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-11-19 17:22:00
Canada	Can Montreal override Vermont	No... USCIS is in control of waivers, not the consulate. Unless the consulate can find something else that would render you inadmissible...	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-11-26 17:40:00
Canada	Bringing Money (Savings) to USA/Paying USA tax	With customhouse, once your all set up, one has two options as I recall. One is electroically, which is free. The other option they have I belive is wire, which they do (or the bank) does charge a fee. Wire is probably faster. But doing it electronically takes 3-4 business days. I have completed many electronically transactions with them and never been charged any fees or had any hassles. There was one time that Presidents Choice charged me a $16.00 fee. I guess Custom House wanted to ensure I had the $$ (Was a fairly large transaction) And Prsidents choice charged the fee to do it. But I phoned and asked about the $16 fee and they gave it back to me. So in conclusion, electronically equals free, and wiring most likely there will be a fee. When one starts up an account with Custom house I belive you have to state which one it wil be. I just attempted to set up a wire transaction and would not allow me! Flames, can you post the name of ther custom house or their website? I'd be very interested. Thanks! www.customhouse.com	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-01-08 13:49:00
Canada	Bringing Money (Savings) to USA/Paying USA tax	Yeah.... an ETF (Electronic Funds Transfer) is free... Just like when you use your debit card... and it does take about 4 days...	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-01-08 11:29:00
Canada	K3 but Mtl changed it to CR-1! confused!	Did your I-130 got approved. Have you gotten stuff from NVC and been sending it back... Sorry, but once that's done, the Consulate will not proceed with the K-3, they have to go with the CR-1.	zyggy	Not Telling	Canada	2007-11-29 15:27:00
