thanks guys!

they offered to let me remotely work from USA while I wait for the SSN before swapping me so I was wondering if that would cause issues, I am not going to be in Canada during this time

i see, so even though i would be working for a company in Canada technically and continue getting paid in my Canadian bank account while living in the US for a few weeks there would be zero issue? appreciate your quick responses!

So even if I am working remotely in the US this would not be an issue?

Hi Guys, Apologies for the title I could not think of a good way of structuring it for this situation that I found myself in. I recently got my IR-1 visa approved and I am moving within the month. My employer is happy to transfer my job to the US but they said that they want to wait until I get my social security number before swapping me officially and giving me the new US based offer. However, they want me to continue working as normal and get paid through my Canadian bank account while I am waiting for my SSN in the US. Then after I receive it, I file my resignation letter for the Canadian based job and they start my US based employment. They said they consulted their US based lawyer who told them that there would be no issue with immigration officials/USCIS if we go this route and it would be less of a head ache because I wouldn't have to take a couple of weeks off while I wait for my SSN. I was wondering if I should agree to this or if I should request that my last day is the day I leave Canada and then resume once I get my SSN? Just wanna make sure I don't run into any issues. I work remotely if that helps. Any advice is much appreciated.

thank you! yeah i figured its not required if the spouse/petitioner is in the US but they are living with me in Canada so I was a bit worried because of that

hey guys a bit random but i have my interview on march 7th, i was wondering if my spouse (petitioner) that is living in canada with me needs to attend as well? thanks a bunch!
