    H1B Husband and Spouse on TN - both working in US

    Both TN and H4EAD have their own good and bad. if one wants to be independent from spouse to avoid any issues during job loss then yes separate TN or H helps. To take any job or getting job without visa sponsor then H4EAD will help. But all these things are not good for long term as all these...

    Transfer US H1B Visa to Canadian Passport or to surrender my Indian citiziten

    Officer doesnt know. Not all are well versed. You should be fine next time. I have travelled multiple times (of course with previously approved I797 while having Indian passport). Worst case, they will send you to secondary which is nothing but the officer couldnt know how to handle or got...

    Transfer US H1B Visa to Canadian Passport or to surrender my Indian citiziten

    Staying outside of US doesnt qualify for being a dependent of principal applicant as there is no necessity for it(since principal and/or dependent stays outside of US). So it will be problem to cross border on H4 as a daily/frequent commute(irrelevant of H4 trying to work or not). We cannot have...

    Transfer US H1B Visa to Canadian Passport or to surrender my Indian citiziten

    Its same answer like for H1. Your current new country passport is not invalidating any of your previous immigration documents as its not tied to your citizenship. I havent heard cbp asks for 140 but still the answer is same as above. There is no difference in eligibility to enter US, pre or...

    Transfer US H1B Visa to Canadian Passport or to surrender my Indian citiziten

    I still doubt that uscis did any mistake except that your lawyer should have done the mistake keeping the previous Indian passport while filing 129. For your question, my lawyer didnt as i told them to use the new passport and luckily didnt do any mistake. So no idea about your case. I dont see...

    Transfer US H1B Visa to Canadian Passport or to surrender my Indian citiziten

    Not sure if the lawyer kept the right passport copy or they just used the old passport copy while filing 129. Either way, you are fine.

    Transfer US H1B Visa to Canadian Passport or to surrender my Indian citiziten

    At one point of time before acquiring Canadian passport, our H1 was always showing Indian citizenship and we still used H1 to enter using Canadian passport. So there is no difference in what citizenship it shows on I797. H1 approval is tied to you, not to your citizenship. I94 format has name...

    Transfer US H1B Visa to Canadian Passport or to surrender my Indian citiziten

    H1 has almost all job titles qualified for. No comparison with TN which is very limited to few. From India to US, while my wife was traveling via Abu Dhabi, the cbp at Abu Dhabi was not ready to issue H4 instead could only issue B. Not sure if it was problem due to that H1 approval we received...

    Taxes/Payroll - Working in US/ Living in Windsor

    Right. NO issues in contributing to hsa. You can just keep it active for long term and if you move then you can anyway use it. nowadays there are more options of investing on hsa money too hence surely a good tax saving instrument.

    H-4 Visa - status change from Korean citizen to Canadian citizen

    As @Samoinp said, your canadian passport doesnt require stamped visa like B or H. You just need to travel using it for visit/work purpose. Also when you say, you are moving to US, then you dont/wont need B status. Your requirement is not clear. Possibly i assume you are moving before...

    Daily commute (Detroit-Windsor) (H1b and Canada PR)

    Per my understanding they can only evaluate the pay and the position within US hence i expect it would be within US which is their jurisdiction. Simply you should go with what your employer say as opinion of mine/yours wont matter when it comes to employer sponsored H visas/processes. They are...

    Daily commute (Detroit-Windsor) (H1b and Canada PR)

    LCA is required upfront before filing any H1(- doesnt matter if its new/extension/transfer). I think that recently uscis started to allow premium process for ead too. https://www.uscis.gov/forms/all-forms/how-do-i-request-premium-processing I doubt that you can get EAD/H4 extension processed if...

    H1B extension dropbox refused Toronto

    if you are not on status then i assume that you are in US and per my experience i need to send passport for dropbox stamping. I am not sure if you tried to send passport for stamping from US but not going back to canada while its processing. I beleive that you cannot get mailed back to US after...

    H1B extension dropbox refused Toronto

    I am still not clear if you are having valid PR status, doesnt matter if card is valid. You can simply tell them that card is expired and you applied for renewal(or cant renew till you move to Canada etc). Yes you can show copr (but i thought that make you land and sign at the border on copr in...

    H1B extension dropbox refused Toronto

    I am not able to understand the exact situation. What is meant by dropbox refused? Doesnt the site tell you if you are eligible for dropbox or force you to select the interview date? Or do you mean that you sent the documents and now they ask you to appear for interview? If this is the case...

    Daily commute (Detroit-Windsor) (H1b and Canada PR)

    You/Your employer paid the lawyers. So go back to the lawyers and ask that question as they got paid to answer and i already mentioned the reason on why one shouldnt move but not sure why you are asking the same question. Thats why i provided the links to read as most here dont even have your...

    Daily commute (Detroit-Windsor) (H1b and Canada PR)

    I was talking about chances of filing aos, not the waiting period after aos. you cant wait for gc as well as move to canada to maintain pr(unless your spouse is canadian citizen). dont waste time planning to move. just wait for the card in US. your lawyer would have already told not to move...
