Got a job, moving to the U.S.

[Delicia 1]

I am still hung up on the financial proof stage. Mind you, I haven't even started the process of sponsoring my Canadian PR husband yet, but I am worried about the financial proof piece. I have been unemployed since 2005 which is when I moved to Canada. I will start working again in the U.S. this year, but obviously, my 2007 tax return will only have a couple months of income on it. I expect that sometime in 2008, I will have to provide the tax returns, but if taken at face value, I will not have enough income to qualify (although my annual salary is ~$60k). Will USCIS take pay stubs or a letter from the employer to prove adequate income?

Congrats! Yup, employer letter and pay stubs can be used as supplementary evidence. Not sure if they will deem that as "enough" but you can try.

You know I just thought of something about your Canadian PR application. It's a moot point now but could the reason your PR application is taking so long is because your husband is a PR and not a citizen?

No, I received the Immigration Officer's notes on my file. They don't like our age difference and sent our file to a local office in Nov 2006 for an interview. Needless to say, still haven't gotten a date for that interview, but it's not like I plan on attending anyway. CIC still owes me $975 refund for the 'right of landing fee' since I withdrew my application. It takes CIC 1 full year to process the refund. They have had that money for 20 months now. Canada is a rip-off in every sense of the word, imho.
