I have claimed my income in Canada only.

I am having an AOS interview in middle of Feb. I expect to get my green card. Assuming I do, how do I file my 2008 taxes. I assume that I file them in Canada again since all my income was from a Canadian employment?

Thanks in advance

Need more info! What was ur status in the USA?? Were u legally working in the USA??

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

If you were adjusting status based on marriage to a US citizen, you should also have been filing taxes in the US and claiming your Canadian income to the IRS.

divorced - April 2010 moved back to Ontario May 2010 and surrendered green card

PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME OR EMAIL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT CURRENT US IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES!!!!!

Thank you again VJ members for your responses.

My status in usa was that I was not working while here. I have been in an overstay position in usa for 3 yrs. I married my wife last year and now have my oas interview in Feb. I have not reported any income to irs because 1- i didnt want any agency knowing i was here but now i have done the official paper work ( on going for 1 yr) I have my aos interview. I expect all will go well and the second it does i will then report to the irs ( if that is what i have to do ) and even come clean about the time i have been here in the usa. I do want to do things accurately

Does anyone know if i should of been reporting to the irs the entire time i was here. That wouldn't of been really logical ...for the first year in usa...i thought i was going to go back to canada...one thing lead to another and i stayed in usa. then yr i met my wife and fell in love.

thanks
