    H-1B extension under risk

    why won't you do premium process, know the extension results and convert to H4 if needed while you have your valid i94? Also, you can enter Canada regardless of the status in US since you are a PR. But the end of this story would be that your extension will mostly likely be approved and you...

    The Canadian health system is broken..

    okay, got it, all of that is fine. What is the point in blaming Tradeau when healthcare is managed by province? If you could explain that, probably I might learn a thing or two today.

    The Canadian health system is broken..

    like above poster said, you shouldn't be using hospital/ER for things like this. they are meant for people who are in critical health situations. Walk in clinics should be your first resort for anything that is not life threatening. there are some some walk-in ortho clinics where OHIP gets...

    The Canadian health system is broken..

    Healthcare is managed by province. What is logic behind not thanking Ford and instead thanking T & J? Is it just fashionable to blame T for everything? Also, did you try walk-in clinic option before going to ER?

    I485 Consular Processing vs AOS

    It depends. If you have an i140 through AOS, then it might be fine to file even after one year. there is no active rule written anywhere that it cannot be used after one year.. miles may vary as not many people have treaded this route. But if you have an approved i140 through consular process...

    I485 Consular Processing vs AOS

    I think your employer needs to file from i824 to have USCIS to change your i140 approval to Consular process and send it Canadian consulate for further processing. After embassy receives it, they will go through usual immigrant visa processing like DQs, setting up interview and all that. It is...

    if AP is pending, one cannot travel out of US. if someone travels, then AP gets abandoned. but even there someone whom I know traveled to Canada by road without knowing about this rule while his AP (first AP filed along with i485) was pending, but he still got approval. generally it is best to...

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

    as far as I know there are no issues in moving to Canada after filing i485. while in Canada, just make sure to maintain your non immigrant status (H1) all the time and avoid travel if you have filed for advance parole and it is pending (better not to file for AP). I personally know couple of...

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

    for couple of weekend visits you could get away by saying that you are in the process of moving and came for house hunting etc. But if you are going to do it for 5-6 months, then it will start looking suspicious and Canadian side might start giving you hard time.

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

    if asked what is the purpose of visit, just say - "To work for <so and so> company" and leave things there. don't mention anything about the location of travel. usually follow up with questions are like - "what is your status" (H1b) or "what you do for them" (work as <LCA title>) or "where do...

    Lived part of year in Canada and part in US but worked in US all year - How best to file taxes

    can you file two returns for a single year? I believe you either a resident or non resident for a year and it may not be possible to have two separate returns with two different statuses. One needs to check what will be their status (resident or non resident) in US first based on substantial...

    Landed in Canada with approved CoPR. But failed to notify IRCC before we landed in Canada on a Domestic violence arrest in USA after CoPR approval

    have they let you inside Canada? where are you staying? if they have mentioned 3-4 weeks timeline, then better to wait, get the landing done and leave Canada. since you don't have any conviction, there may not be any issues with your PR conversion.

    Landed in Canada with approved CoPR. But failed to notify IRCC before we landed in Canada on a Domestic violence arrest in USA after CoPR approval

    have they held your passports too? You can request for them to be returned back and leave to India. Usually there is no specific timelines for this type of review and it may take several months to hear back something from IRCC.

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

    that's usually because Detroit is a big city compared to Buffalo and many have their employers based out of there. so you will see more people commuting to Detroit. remote work is becoming a thing now, so people have started exploring other borders too. if you are filing an amendment for a...
