  1. Good morning, I have just entered the US near montreal/Champlain POE, as an new immigrant. I got my i-551 visa stamp/endorsement everything was very fast and smooth in the border crossing. Except that I have my own/everyday usage car, which I was driving, I did ask the border agent if he could process the car since I was importing it. He told me the cargo at that place was closed at that moment so, he could not do it in there. He told me to just go to any airport talk to an immigration agent and they would do it for me. Now basically I have to places to do it, New Jersey or Florida, since I have relatives living in both place and I could easily stay and move to those 2 places. Now, since Jersey is nearer the border I came to NJ and started to try to take care of the car importation, yet, things here are not smooth at all. First of all, the immigration agents at the EWR airport had no clue on what to do, regarding my car, they were kind of nice, yet lost, after more than 1 hour they came up with another address to go in a port near the docks, for me to go there since that was the place where customs handled the car export so they should know about it. Then, I went there to the port, it was again, hard to find, one place sending to another yet to another kind of situation, at the end they ended up giving me a form CBP-7512 for goods importation and told me to fill it up and send it with all the documents I might have to the email address they had given me(email from cbp.dhs.gov) and wait for a reply which could take days, so I have done it a week ago and no reply whatsoever. Now I am wondering if somebody has done a car importation not at the border crossing but either in NJ or in FL who could tell me exactly which steps they followed, documents they did present, and which town they did it, that could really help me. thank you so very much,
  2. I currently work for a company in Canada, this company let me work for them remotely. Now I just got my immigration visa approved. So, once I move to the US/validate my immigrant visa/go in through the POE, I know I will have to wait for my GCCard and for my SSCard. Now, basically the question is: is there anyway for me to legally continue to work for this company while still waiting for the GC/SSN? if there is a way, then how would it be, because I think I cannot work as a regular PR Holder since I still do not have received the cards, right? So, should I just continue to work as a canadian similar as if I had not moved, but changing my address to the US one ofcourse(this is the option I, at first thought it should be and then I would declare income tax on both side of the border)? or should I open a company to receive the payment and work as a consultant( this is what my company thinks I should do)? But would i be able to open a company before getting the SSN/GC? if not then I guess I could not just work, without a company that would be illegal, right? Any reply would be appreciated. thanks
