No, mine did not state that. Just enclose a nice cover letter explaining the situation!!

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

I can summarize what you need to do. EI is Employment Insurance, very similar to 'Unemployment' in the U.S. and will allow your husband to receive EI payments in lieu of a paycheck while he looks for

Hey all - update from the EI claim after moving here. Once we leave Canada and have eligibility to work in USA (which you would with Spousal visa, not sure about Fiance), we get 'transferred' to Inter

They denied me becasue they said that I left work to early to move to the USA.

My interview was May 2, I moved May 24.

I didnt get married until Aug 12, so they said that I left my job to early and that I should not have moved until August. What the F&ck ever. They shouldnt be able to tell me when I can move.

MY EI claim was originally denied (not because of the ROE) but becuase I was military and had an actual contract. But I appealed and won. Easy process, and the EI people were excellent.

No clue on why they denied you Pink, crazy!!

How would collecting EI in the US work on filing taxes. I read in here where Flames was saying that Canada takes 25% tax off

When it comes time to file taxes on the EI I assume one would be filing on a Revenue Canada tax form as they deducted the taxes. What about here in the US does one also have to file a tax claim for receiving the EI and pay US tax on that money

I'm not sure how this is all suppose to work when filing taxes if I do manage to get my EI approved.

Could someone please enlighten me on how filing income tax on money received in Canada is done, while now living in the US.

I think my next tax filing is going to be quite an adventure lol lol

Thanks

Do we have to have had the civil ceremony already to be eligible?

Nope.. It has to do with when you are ready willing and able to work.. not tied to your wedding date..

We moved to the US once I got my K-1 and we waited about a week until we got married...

I left a few days after I moved (cause I wasn't ready and able to work I was unpacking and goofing off with hubby :devil: ), but i put a date for ready willing and able to work that was before my wedding date..

You are relocating because of a marriage.. but you are "eligible" (2 week waiting period still applies though) from the time you stop working (if you have moving fairies that do all the work while you look for work) :)
