  1. Just a list of each box. I spent a lot of time numbering each box and listing its general contents (tools, office supplies, etc.) and the cbp officer asked what was in the truck (uhaul). I said all of my belongings, he asked if I had any food. I offered the packing list and he didn’t want it. Just told me to have a good day.
  2. Yes they took my Ontario license and replaced it with Michigan. There was no exam or road test. Just an eye test and photo.
  3. I believe around $200. It was t anything significant.
  4. I imported my vehicle last year when I entered for the first time on my visa. It was pretty simple really. Had to get a letter from the manufacturer that it complied with US DOT regulations. In my case I had to replace the airbag light but that was all. Proof that vehicle had no lien on it and really that was it. Took about 30 minutes at the border to complete and they provided the import record that I was able to use at the Secretary of State to register it in the US.
  5. No not at all. You shouldn't worry about doing this at all - it is normal, legal and very common to move back and forth, especially in the early days of moving.
  6. I can tell you I crossed back and forth 8-10 times in the first 5 weeks (first time was 1-day after entry) on just the stamped Visa and then received GC in the mail. I cross almost every weekend back and forth and have had no issues whatsoever either with visa or GC and have been doing so for 9 months now.
  7. We used 864EZ and with no issues at all.
  8. I’m curious if anyone has some insight on this hypothetical, but possibly realistic, scenario. I list my house to sell on April 10 I cross the border and activate my visa on April 15 and return to Canada April 16 to pack belongings. House sells April 20 and closes June 1. In this scenario, would I be considered a non-resident and be subject to the 25% withholding tax when selling the house (primary residence I’ve lived in since it was purchased 7 years ago)?
