Montreal embassy EB-2 interview wait time-Part 2

[datafate 11]

I have a quick question - I need to update my passport information. I didn't do it during the NVC fearing It might reset my DQ date. Now that I have the IL - do you know how I can go about it ?

Question - I have a remote friendly job here in Canada. Once I move to the States after receiving the green card, is it possible to work my Canadian job down there for a couple of months while I search for a new job locally? I'm not sure how the tax situation works once you enter the US as a green card resident.

You can just change that on the day. The first window you go to is to check and update your documents, addresses etc. If you still have your old passport I would bring it also. But I don't imagine they would need it.

You can work in a Canadian company. However you will have to pay taxes in America as you are an American resident, it can get quite complicated. You also won't have healthcare etc. So worth considering

Does anyone have any insights regarding the letter from employer? Does it need to be signed by hand or electronically will suffice?

I am working for an American company from Canada, so thinking does it need to state that my employer will transfer me to US once I get the GC?

There're no specific requirements listed on the documents checklist online so maybe someone knows from experience. Any advice appreciated!

Yup! They will add anything to your file or update anything. Just make sure you have copies of everything for them!

I may need to get the MMR vaccine. Do i need to take it mandatorily from my family physician or can I go anywhere like Travel clinics etc.?

Anyone has any information on the Dr in Vancouver for the medicals. Sent them an email but I have not received any response and their numbers seem to be clogged up at the moment. 

Any information will be appreciated. 

Many thanks

You can go to either. They will accept both.

You need to have an US address for them to have an address to send the green card. It doesn't need to be the one you intend to live at. Do you have a friend or family members house that you could get your green card mailed to on your behalf?

Just put the same address as you plan to use for green card delivery. Doesn't matter for the medical
