What's wrong with living in Canada? I doubt you will find this audience particularly in agreement with you. I might be wrong, but my I guess that most of us just want to live with family, while still retaining a certain fondness for Canada. However, I hope you find your spouse's country more agreeable than you have found your own.

It is definitely possible to get your green card even if the visa is not stamped (that happened to me in July). The border agent had insisted that he was entering me on a B-2 visitor visa. Then I received some mail, the SSN and later the green card after the immigrant fee was paid. When I returned later to the same border for official immigration, they had head scratching to do. They stamped the passport and told me the date the passport was stamped was my official immigration date. However, the green card still has the earlier date. I hope that won't cause headache down the road, but I have no idea how to correct it.

The USCIS immigrant fee needs to be paid before the green card will be mailed. You do not need to pay it before crossing. If you do not pay, it will not hinder you from getting your visa stamped, and it will not hinder you from getting your SSN. However, YOUR GREEN CARD WILL NOT BE MAILED UNTIL THE IMMIGRANT FEE HAS BEEN PAID.

The immigrating spouse will be treated as an immigrant. Any other accompanying persons will be treated on their own merit. If they are trying to cross legally for legitimate purposes, they will not hinder the process. The border agent should ask if you are importing the vehicle. There are no wrong answers. "No," "Yes," "Later," or "Maybe someday" are all correct responses, and the agent will proceed accordingly.

Not sure what you are asking with your question. When applying for a visa, either IR-1 or CR-1, the US citizen spouse is always the main sponsor. Even if you add joint sponsors or use assets, the spouse remains the main sponsor. Your spouse as the main sponsor doesn't change regardless of changing financial situations.

Rest easy! That's the way it's done now.
