You are allowed to claim the entire loss: $15.00 per share, or you can choose $10.00 (which would be silly) Note that you wer also supposed to report the deemed disposition of the stock when you left canada, and list this as one of your holdings other wise you will pay a fine. Note too, that if the ...

You will be considered a resident of Canada when you and your spouse move to candad (you will have to go thru immigration formalities), and will thus report all your world income to Canada. As a US citizen you will do the same to IRS. A complex series of foreign tax credits will likely result in pay...

Everyone has the choice of AOS or CP. Until your PD is current, neither is moving at all. so it doesn't much matter with regards to changing companies. You were talking about doing this close to CP interview: this would be a mistake. CP: if you feel like changing sponsors, do it now, before PD is cu...

AC21 does NOT apply to consular processing. If you go to your interview having left your sponsor, I would expect a denial. If you have an approved I-140 but are not current, I would strongly suggest you do what it takes to switch from CP to AOS and do so. You have so many more rights waiting for AOS...

Since you do live in canada, you are eligible for UI in michigan. Whewther or not they pay you for a 2-week lay-off depends on the local rules. If your work-mates get it, then you should too. This does NOT impact your GC process. Depending on what work status you are in, you may wish to avoid crossi...

Your I-94 form has your name and citizenship on it, that's all plus the TN/TD stamp.

There doesn't need to be anything else on the front or back.

How about posting this ion the tax portion of this site.

When you do, outline some of your situation, since it is very unusual for someone living and working in US to be a factual resident, unless one has multiple ties in canada including spouse and home.

Although he was a little heavy-handed, he was correct. If you leave N America-- One could argue that Aruba is 'kinda' in N America, but that's a stretch-- you are supposed to hand in your I-94s. trouble is, that for tN, the I-94 may be your only proof of status -- if you got TN at the border. It is ...

Without applying for i-485, there is NO provision in AC21 for porting I-140. You must have your new sponsor file PERM and I-140.

They can port their H1, but this this does not equate to GC sponsorship.

The terms "2 year' and '10 year' are misleading. These apply to marriage-based GC: 2-year is the Conditional Gc obtained shortly after marriage. It is given for 2 years to mitigate against convenience marriages. The 10-year GC is really a permannt GC. While it may have an 'expiry date' on 10-ye...
