Spouse's green card: who usually pays?
I am a Canadian working in the U.S. whose employer is applying for my Legal Permanent Residency, and paying the legal fees. I have a spouse who is not employed. In this case, does the employer usually pay the spouse's legal fees too. Or does the family bear the cost? Or is there no standard?

One more question about Priority Dates
When I look at the State Dept Visa Bulletin for November 2007, [url]http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_3827.html[/url], there are two boxes that show the PDs that are being processed. In the employment-based visa box, many of the cells simply have the letter "C" instead of...

Canadian had U.S. parents: is she a U.S. citizen?
This is a long shot. (Everyone I've asked says so) but I've seen longer shots in this forum, so here goes: Circa 1970 a Canadian couple with a teenaged girl moved from Toronto to Pittsburgh. However, the girl stayed in Canada for university. Years passed: parents became U.S. citizens and are now dec...

I got my TN when I drove across the border. I do not believe the US issues them in advance at all. Just show up with your job offer on paper. I now have an H1B and understand that if you get a new job with the same job classification your new employer can hire you and pull over the old H1B as a resu...

You have the right to go and work in Canada whenever you damn well please! The place you really need to ask your question is over on the cross-border tax forum because that situation might be a little muddy. However, it reminds me (a Canadian born and bred) of an incident when I was living in London...

None of my business, and I know this'll draw a flame from nelsona, but if she works for her Canadian employer from her U.S. home and the Canadian employer pays into her Canadian bank account, and she pays Canadian taxes as a non-resident, .....sure it's illegal from the IRS perspective, and I'm sure...

Transfer H1B to personal corporation (incoporate oneself)
I currently hold an H1B. I thought I had read, in this forum, that it is possible to establish a personal corporatation (C-corp?) in the U.S., hire myself, and transfer this H1B to the corporation I have established. I can't find the posting that I recall. Is what I've described possible? If so, wha...

Filing 8891
I moved to the US in 2005 so filed dual status NR tax return, which I had to do manually. 2006 I am a full-time US resident and want to use TurboTax, which (I recall) has no form 8891 in software. Can I simply mail the 8891 hard copy as a stand-alone to my tax office? Also, although nelsona says to ...

Yes, a great site, but with apparently bad news. It says the Legal Permanent Resident is disadvantaged versus the non-immigrant worker with respect to his spouse. I am now on H1-B and hope for LPR in a few years. My wife is H4-B. When I get my green card will my wife have to leave the country for ye...
