I'm not sure if I should worry about this or not so I'll ask the question.

I'm currently in Canada, working full time, etc. as I wait for my approval to be processed.

My current job does not require me to work from the office. I can work anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

My current manager knows that I will be moving to the USA. My manager is in the process of getting approvals from higher up in the company to allow me to work from home on a more permanent basis so that I can move to the US and keep my job. I would like to do this, keeping my current job, just working from home in the US.

My question is, would this be considered a good thing by the powers to be - me keeping my job and being able to support myself once I move, or frowned upon by not fully moving my life there?

This will not affect you... We live in a global world... the most difficult thing about this will be the cross-border taxation

YMMV

You will be required to pay US State and US federal payroll tax, or your employer north of the border will need to provide you a W2 (Employee) or 1099 (Contractor) so that you can file and pay your State and Federal income taxes.

You will be a Permanent resident of the USA with green-card so will be subject to the same federal and state taxes as everyone else.

Your Spouse will still have to provide an I-864 to sponsor you even though you will still be employed.

That's cool, thanks.

I'm not too worried about the tax stuff. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't going to cause a problem when I go for my interview.
