New US Immigration Forum!

I have been told that the receipt for the application to renew my H1B will allow me to keep working while it is being processed but when it is, do they just mail me the new I94? I don't have to exit and reenter the country again do I? I should have paid for premium processing...my drivers license will now expire with my old H1B running out cause they set the expiry date to match the work visa date....great.

Hi, I would like some info on applying for a K3 visa from Canada.
I am marrying a US citizen who is here in Canada on a work visa. I am not sure if I can apply for the K3 visa while he is living and working here on his temporary visa (he has about a year and a half left before his visa expires). After his visa expires we may move to the states, but I will need to work. What would be my best options?

I have L2 status and have been in the States for a few weeks. I have read conflicting information so I am not sure if I apply for my SSN first or my EAD. My EAD form asks for a SSN and in brackets it say (if any), so maybe I don't need one to apply for it.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom from experience?

To get SSN you need to already have work authorization, which come only with EAD (I-765) approval. So you need to submit I-765 first (SSN is not important to this form). You should have done this the first day you arrived.

Only once you have EAD do you fgo to SSA office and request SSN. you can work as soon as you make SSN request after getting EAD.

Hello all,

Due to the recent high-volume of questions relating to TN Visas, work visas, immigration, citizenship and more for moving to the US, I've created a new subforum for all these topics.

So, PLEASE use it. If you have any questions or discussions relating to US visas, citizenship etc please post them here:
US Immigration - TN Visa, Work Permits, Citizenship etc SubForum

I'll start moving posts currently in the US Forum to this new Immigration specific subforum.

Thanks!

Its better to consult your problem about your visa or immigration to the embassy or to the immigration office near you. They will provide the right information that you need. And ask also an attorney that are expert in visa and immigration issue for the support answer to your problem. In this way, you will get the information that you want.

Hi, I am still confused about the eligibility of an independent contractor for a TN Visa. Here is my situation. I am a Canadian citizen on a TN Visa. Currently, there are new job opportunities that are being presented to me. I have a doctorate degree in psychology from a US university and I recently became licensed as a psychologist in the state of Florida. My potential future employer is a private practice that employs subcontractors who have their own individual practices to provide services. I will be interviewing with them on 2/10/12. I guess my main question is what kind of agreement could I make with them so that I can be eligible for a TN visa since I would not be an employee but most likely a 1099? How should I word the employment offer letter? Ultimately, can I be a 1099/contractor and be eligible for a TN visa? The employer could potentially be the private practice with which I will have a contract agreement.

Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.

When visiting to the US, with the secret intent of maybe staying longer than expected.. what is the best way to get thru customs. Such as: Ticket purchase, what u tell the officer in customs, what to do before and after ur travel.

Hi everyone I just joined this forum. I have a question that I haven't seen dealt with on this site yet(if I am incorrect can you please send me to the right post). I an a Canadian citizen living in Vancouver. I work remotely fro an American company out of New York on a contract basis (No time limit on this). I would like to move to Washington State to be with my American boyfriend and keep working my remote US job. My pay is currently deposited into a Canadian bank however(which is a pain) and if I do move down to the States i would like to open a US account to which my paycheques/fees will be deposited.

My question is: Can I legally continue working my contract job for the US company from Washington State? And if so do I need to apply for some form of employment status(work Visa etc)? And would I then be paying American taxes and Canadian taxes? I would eventually like to buy a house in the Us as well can a foreigner get a US mortgage?

Thank you in advance for any help/advise that you can give
