now worried please help

[mishi 0]

hi there!

my husband was a permanent resident in usa and canada. he got canadian residency before usa but came a couple of times after that and lived and worked in usa. when we got married he sponsored me from usa and as canadian sponsorship is much quick so he applied from canada as well so we can live atleast close to eachother and he can visit here more often.i had an infant at that time.

just after 4 months of my arrival we were informed that i have severe complications in pregnancy and he left everything in usa and came here to live with me and support me. that was a tough time for both of us.i had doctors appointments weekly ultrasound appts and i was hospitalized a couple of times.my husband helped me and took care of my older child as well as mine during my second pregnancy. after birth of my child he got operated and now he has hospital foolow up appointments.

as we were getting short in money he looked for job but could not get one, after a year or so he got a cashier job but we were happy that atleast we would be able to save hat he had in usa accounts.

my case was approved in sept 2008 but we recieved the packages etc their mails after 6 months. then last year my husband became us citizen. my interview was in sept 2009 in montreal. he asked me some questions and then he said that he believes my husband has been living with me so i need proof of domicilehe asked me how i got here i told him my husband is a PR here. he asked if he is working here and i was so scared i replied no. he said he want me to show him his canadian taxes. he aid its up to us hether we want to declare his presence in canada if we want to declare thats ok hust send them proof that we are intended to move there if we dont want to declare again thats fine just send them proof that he was there anything from doctors appointments,bills etc anything.

i came back sent whatever we had as my husband visits there even for shopping. but they are asking taxes for the yrs in which he was here and working here thats shown in his taxes and we are reluctant to sent them canadian taxese have sent them info that he has applied for an apartment, car insurance,driving license,voters registration, shopping slips etc etc but no can taxes.

after 5 weeks of these proof i got their call that they want proper lease papers and employment letter if there is and again canadian taxes and citizenship proof.

we sent them lease papers,letter that shows he will work in 3 weeks, his citizenship proof but again we didnot send them taxes. now we are worried if they again asked for taxes what should we do, either to send them taxes with explanations of his reasons staying here with us or ...... please advice u guys are very experienced and know each and everything.

Absolutely send them tax information. Honestly, at this stage you give them EXACTLY what they ask you for. Despite what some may believe, the COs don't WANT to reject people -- they just have to do things by the book and ensure that certain criteria are covered.

Ya, USA domicile and CAN/USA taxes, must to show.

he asked if he is working here and i was so scared i replied no. he said he want me to show him his canadian taxes. he aid its up to us hether we want to declare his presence in canada if we want to declare thats ok hust send them proof that we are intended to move there if we dont want to declare again thats fine just send them proof that he was there anything from doctors appointments,bills etc anything.

I don't really understand all of your story really.

Is your Husband now living in Canada or the U.S.? Why wouldn't you want to give them his Canadian tax returns? Is this because you told them he wasn't working in Canada when he actually was?

Yes, i'm a bit confused, we really need more details to help you out here.

I think maybe you are worried that if your Husband was/is living in Canada that he could not sponsor you to move to the U.S.? He still can, but you have to provide STRONG proof that he is returning to the U.S. with intent to live there.

Just want to add:

Even if you don't want to discuss this further here, if what I have said above is true and you were not completely honest with the officer - I would strongly suggest that you go and speak with a good immigration attorney, one well versed in U.S. immigration law, to see how you should proceed.

yes just because i said he is not working in canada when he is. and he said if you are not lying show/send me his(my husband's) canadian taxes.he has asked for them twice but i didnot send him taxes. except that i have send him everything lease copy,employer letter everything.now waiting for his answer but scared if he will again ask for taxes what should i do?

i know he can sponsor me as he frequently visits there just could not wrok as if we need him anytime he can come he lost his 2 jobs in usa just because of our problems (health related). after that he didnot applied for job there. when he cam here still he had a rental place there and he paid rent without living there.canadain jobs are so unreliable after a year he left the 1 bedroom apt in usa and completely shifted here until we get visa but he visited often(sometimes once a month or twice a month for shopping sometimes for paying bills or taxes etc etc. he has never been interested in living here but because of us he came to wait with us for visa. but we dont know how to show intention that we have suffered alot here and want to move asap.

Okay, without getting ad hominem here (it's Christmas, after all), I really don't think you deserve to be helped. Not lying at all is a good LIFE rule, but it's an essential immigration rule. Why in the world would you have lied about him working in Canada? The whole concept of LEGAL immigration is based upon honesty and transparency at every step. Since you've clearly breached that at a very early stage, I don't think you're going to get much sympathy from folks on VisaJourney.

So yes, Trailmix is right. I think your only recourse at this juncture is an immigration attorney. But even if he/she DOES get you out of this situation, it doesn't mean that you deserve legal immigration.

That's my (admittedly strong) opinion. YMMV.

i am not here to get sympathy i needed an advice. and i did lie coz i got confused and scared at that time. i was not clear at that time what should i say. is it a serious thing to work here or not? nothing else. we have gone through alot and didnot want to ruin everything. this is our problem that if someone of us get a GREEN CARD we think we are the only deserve and the other person is not. people makes mistakes but that doesn't mean they dont deserve anything.

leave it on officer what i deserve and merry christmas.

thanks for your opinion but i wanted advice.

To answer your question - no, there is nothing wrong with him working legally in Canada - which he was. He is entitled to and he did - nothing wrong about that.

I think you are concerned about proving domicile for the affidavit of support? U.S. citizens who do not live in the U.S. can just prove that they have full intent to move back to the U.S. and 'reestablish' domicile - they don't necessarily have to be physically living there.

Proving his intent to move back is what you should have been focused on, the Montreal consulate takes a very very hard line on this.

Anyway, the CO said to you that he believed your Husband was living here with you - the reason he said that was that he wanted proof that he intends to reestablish domicile in the U.S. - that is part of the affidavit of support. You would have been much better off telling him the truth and then presenting him with further evidence that you plan to move.

It wouldn't let me edit the above post but I also wanted to say:

I think that you are hoping the officer willl forget about it and not ask you again for your Husband's Canadian tax returns? Did he give you a sheet of paper asking you for certain items to be sent to him?

None of us has a crystal ball, so you will just have to wait and see - if they approve you fine, if they send the request back for further information, I again, strongly suggest you contact a good immigration attorney.

Sending back only part of the information he requested may just leave you sitting and waiting. He may not even respond, just wait for you to send the tax returns.

yes trailmix thats what i am hoping ans praying. on the sheet of paper he requested for us/canadian taxes ,so i sent him us taxes. he explained to me everything that he just need some proof that we will move there he asked me if i have atleast one proof i said no but just applied for apartment he said to send him proper lease.

i was so upset at that time then he said its ok if he is here i have checked everything. and there is nothing wrong with this case just proof of domicile which u should have bring with yourself and now u can send it here.

he held our passports and we sent him everything and acc to heet and his call about taxes he said again us/canadian taxes so sent them us taxes.

do you think i shuold send them can taxes now?

[trailmix 77]

I really don't know. The thing is, on your husband should have claimed his Canadian income on his U.S. return, did he not do that?

this id the first time i am hearing this thing. we don't know anything about it. please explain it. can a person claims can income on us returns??

[trailmix 77]

Sorry my last reply was so unclear, I was in a hurry I guess lol

But yes - American's have to claim ALL of their income, worldwide income - now he will probably get to exclude it all - up to around 85 thousand in foreign income - however, he still should have stated it on the return.
