I entered in May 2009 and left in Feb of 2010. I am canadian. When questioned I came clean and told the official I had returned to Canada to sort out a TN visa. I also admitted to helping my cousin who owns and operates a company in Florida. I was told that because I had been truthful I would not be banned but that I shouldn't try re-entering the US for a period of at least 8 months. At which time in order to gain admission, I would have to show that I had ties to Canada (job/address/etc) and that I was there to visit (ie return ticket) etc. I was also told that the next time I showed up it shouldn't be to apply for a TN visa. Is there no way to sort this out without having to wait a year or two? I have a job waiting for me in US. I know I broke the rules but I left voluntarily and even though I was made to sign a statement, it was written in a suprisingly favourable light.

I don't know if I have an arrest record or a criminal record, if i will be able to clear a background check or anything, including travel!! In August 2009, I was caught shoplifting from The Bay. Loss Prevention took me, and the police then came. They rifled through my belonging, taking down all the information they could, including my car insurance slip. They told me they were not going to charge me criminally, and continued to give me a lecture (21 years old, clean record and finishing university). I got no fingerprints, no slip to take me to court, no police station. They handed me over a $70 ticket for trespassing and told me to pay it within 15 days. They left telling me not to get into any more trouble. I paid the ticket online. Now, after countless hours of researching online the possible outcomes of my situation, I am still confused as to whether or not I am in trouble regarding my record. Some websites are saying that I have a criminal record, or that I will have trouble travelling, and others say that I have nothing to worry about. I'm in so much worry, this is all I think about, and I would love some clarification on my issue. I have not told a soul about this incident and no nothing about law which makes it even harder to go about this (getting a record check etc.) Therefore, what does my record look like? Is the &quot;arrest&quot;, the situation or the ticket on my record? Will I have any issues travelling? Some people say that an arrest can prevent you from travelling. Please help as I am in desperate need.

I was wondering if you anybody could help me with some questions I had about moving to the USA - it would be greatly appreciated. I really want to move to the USA. I understand there are 3 ways. Through work visa, student visa or to get married. WORK. 1. Do you need a job offer before you get a visa? 2. Do you need a visa before you get a job offer? When I apply to U.S. jobs online, there is always a section that asks &quot;Do you have the legal right to work in America?&quot; and I always put &quot;No&quot; because I do not have a work permit (actually I have a diplomatic visa but that only allows me to work at consulates and embassies so I don't have the right to work at private companies). I feel that because of my response, my application is automatically dismissed. It seems like a catch-22. You need to have a visa to get a job and you need a job/sponsor to get a visa. HOW DO YOU GET AROUND THIS PROBLEM? I can't figure it out. I have a Master’s degree in International Relations but don’t know if that qualifies me for the NAFTA/TN Visa. I am thinking about doing another MA in economics/finance b/c I believe it would qualify me for a TN Visa, does anybody know? SCHOOL If I am enrolled in an American school do I have the right to work there or just to study? I heard from somebody that if you are enrolled as a student in Canada, you are allowed to go migrate to the US temporarily on some sort of &quot;exchange visa&quot; and work in the U.S. for awhile after you have graduated. Is that true? MARRIAGE My American girlfriend and I are in a very serious relationship but are separated b/c we live in different countries. We have talked about getting married so that we could be together and we had the following questions. If you get married to an American in the USA how long does it take to get a green card/working visa? Can you start to work immediately? If it is a long process, are you allowed to leave the country? Could I come back to Canada and continue working until the application process is finished rather than wait in the USA and not be able to work? How long do you have to stay married – i.e. if we get a divorce 2 to 3 years later would I still be able to keep my green card? If I am enrolled at a school in Canada and I get married in the USA, could I be separated from my wife for a year while I complete school in Canada and would that create any problems in getting a green card/work permit? Could we get married and then immediately move to a third country (e.g. the UK) without it creating problems of me getting a green card? Would it count towards the number of years we would have to be together for me to keep my green card should we get a divorce? Any help answering these questions/offering advice on how to permanently unite me with my girlfriend would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you so much for your time and help. Have a nice day.

They paid me, did not take off tax, and now want me to file with the IRS. I will claim the income on my Canadian taxes, as usual. Here's the latest email I received: During 2009, you received income that must be reported to you by the University using Form 1042-S (Foreign Persons U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding). If you received multiple types of income, you will receive multiple Forms 1042-S. You may receive this form for any of the following types of income: -Compensation/Salary/Wages exempt from tax withholding at the time of payment due to an income tax treaty exemption; -Independent Compensation/Honoraria/Speaker Fees/Consulting paid to a Nonresident Alien, whether tax was withheld or tax treaty exempt; and/or You must use Form 1042-S when you prepare your U.S. federal income tax return; you are required to attach Copy C of Form 1042-S to your Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ (as applicable). What should I do about this? Will this cause further problems when I return to the U.S.? Thank you.
