Hi guys,

I talked to EI today about my claim. I was receiving EI when i left canada and was going to continue receiving it when i got in U.S. I arrived in U. S on sept 7 and got married on 19th of sept. i DID NOT receive a EAD at POE. Because of this I am not allowed to receive benefits until i get my EAD from immigration.

The lady i talked to told me to send her my k1 and i94 and she would check into it for me, she said it was allin the air in their office regarding k1 holders. Is there anyone receiving EI even though they have not received there ead yet?

it do not make sence to me, we are available and willing to work BUT not allowed to...........................!!!

thanks

I guess it has always been a bit confusing with K1'ers regarding their work situation. Most people are confused, so no reason why EI shouldn't be as well, lol There is a few different ways one could look at it, hopefully it works out in ur favor!

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
