I want to move somewhere where I can live off the interest and get a suntan. Nevada looks pretty promising because there is no state income tax.
I know I can only stay in the US for six months as a Canadian citizen, but the key point is for tax purposes I want to move my residency there, so that means getting a Nevada DL and disposing of any connection to Canada (I'll live in BVI for the other six months if I have to, oh it will be a hard life).
The problem is how the heck do you get a Nevada DL? Any retirees down there managed to pull it off? Or anyone on a TN-1?
From the guff on the USCIS site it looks as though getting an I-94 is optional on a TN-1, but the State of Nevada wants to see it. How do you get one if you haven't got an I-94? They won't accept foreign passports, and they won't accept Canadian DLs as proof of identity, so I'm stumped on that one. Even if I got an I-94, the license would be valid until the I-94 expired it looks like, so logistically that would be hard to pull off.
Texas will accept a Canadian DL, passport and something else (like a Social Security Number card, vehicle title) so that's easy, and Florida accepts a Canadian passport outright (but the license is restricted to one year, I assume they did this for TN-1 reasons).
But most of my family lives in the southwest so I preferred the idea of Nevada. Sigh, I suppose they could apply for family reunification but that takes years and years. I'll be dead and buried by then.
