We did not lose anything (in term of tax) in this process. IRS withheld 5%, but we were able get credit for that while filing tax here. In our case we did not do early withdrawal, just transfer. So I am not sure about the tax implications for early withdrawal. In our case, we just miscalculated...

Yes, you can move the 401k(US) to RRSP (Canada), provided you have contribution room. My wife moved her 401k to RRSP here two years ago. But it's bit headache if you don't calculate correctly... We had to deal with CRA couple of more follow up filings to set everything right. I think you...

Approved in 60 days? wow ... not heard before... would you mind to say when (may be year & month) this was? Thanks.

There is nothing like that... you are cap-exempted.... don't use the words reinstated and transferred... Your new employer need to file a petition (I-129), but you are cap-exempted and should be able to use the remaining time on the H1B.

Result of mindless and stupid policies....

Okay, I understand your question now..... but an I-94 should have been issued with H4 status (at the border)? Maybe I-94 should be good enough. I am not sure they would stamp the passport with H4.

How long it takes for the card to arrive (after approval), anyone?

1. yes 2. nothing much. carry your I-797 and the canadian passport. 3. i could sympathize with her. i think she has a point. no, i don't see any problem as such you both having different citizenship status. there could be some minor inconveniences in the airports as you both may have to join two...

Applied in March and got conditionally approved just last week. So it took around 10 months...

Had my interview today and got approved and surprisingly they did not ask why do i need it. The cbsa officer went through laundry list of dos and don'ts as a nexus card user. couldn't follow much of it (as the she said it like the auctioneers), but as i know few things already i am okay. but...

Thanks Abbas.
