Re: Impact of travelling on L1B while TN i-129 petition is submitted

I just checked the I-797A (copy), It has I-94 on it. - After my re-entry can I make the change of status, for dependents(L2), from within the US (using which form)? - Or Is it better for my spouse and kids to re-enter at the same time with me (do I need to fill a form for this at POE)? - Do I need t...

Re: Impact of travelling on L1B while TN i-129 petition is submitted

That is, the change of status application from TD to L2 will be done from within the US (after my re-entry with L1). Is this okay? Also the TN has already been approved, but I am waiting for the approval confirmation copy through mail. Will there be an issue if there is few weeks gap between the TN ...

Re: Impact of travelling on L1B while TN i-129 petition is submitted

Yes, I-539 was filed with my I-129. Previously, they were on TD (my spouse's TN).

So, *after* I re-enter on the L1, I would apply a change of status to put them on L2?

Re: Impact of travelling on L1B while TN i-129 petition is submitted

Thank you so much as always Nelsona!

Couple of followup question on re-entering on the L1 -
- Do I need to show any other document at POE during re-entry using the L1?
- If dependent(s) status has changed, is it possible to apply for their status change (to L2) from within the US after my re-entry?

Re: Impact of travelling on L1B while TN i-129 petition is submitted

From immigration point of view, which one is better? L1 with an employer that is not keen to sponsor(will provide docs, but fees will be paid employee - I don't mind paying the fees) or TN, but will have to go through the H1b route?

Re: Impact of travelling on L1B while TN i-129 petition is submitted

Thank you nelsona for your reply. Sorry, I should have clarified when I said "my employer". It is my current employer (L1) that said "they are okay with providing required documentation for the sponsorship as long as I pay for the processing fees." . Is this even possible? You sa...

Impact of travelling on L1B while TN i-129 petition is submitted

My current employer got me the L1B. However, they were not interested to sponsor me for Green Card. In the meantime, I got an offer from another Fortune 500 employer that is willing to sponsor me, but can only take me with TN. They sent the TN i-129 application on Friday. On Monday, my employer told...

Re: Tax implications of Global / International investment accounts in CAD funds?

Is there a special reporting required for such Accounts? How does currency exchange take into account in this case, since CAD -> USD fluctuate all the time? Say, there is no actual gain from your investment, but the CAD -> USD conversion resulted in a higher amount? would that lead to taxation even ...

Tax implications of Global / International investment accounts in CAD funds?

Some financial institutions provide global/international investment accounts. Basically, these accounts allow you to keep your funds in CAD in the US and invest in stocks and other securities. With these accounts, since the account resides in the US it makes it easier to file taxes and no need to do...

Canadian in the US - downsides of applying for GC?

I am on a work visa in the US and will most likely stay here in the US for at 3-5+ years due to my work. Now I am not 100% sure if I would like to stay here with a GC instead of a work visa. I know it is not easy to get the GC itself. However, I don't want to apply for GC (via my employer) without u...
