    You’re right. Two countries have flexible tax treaty and whatever tax deducted in canada, that income would be exempt from US tax return. However, there has to be a US return each year after landing.

    I didn’t need to take urine test either

    Ya true. Also another fact is, if someone keeps traveling back and forth in their first year of landing, they should wait another year before applying for citizenship to remain safe. GC is valid for 10 years and usually gets extended afterwards if requested and conditions are met.

    Its truly a grey zone. My friends uncle keeps traveling to buffalo every now and then for around 12 months without taking i-131 permit. Sometimes Niagara immigration gives him tough time. He needs to explain his kids going to school, he has a small business in ontario and wrapping up everything will take few more months.

    Welcome back! You should get IL asap!
  7. monk_yatso
    As montreal maintaining 12 months backlog, you can expect IL by 2026-Jan in worst case.

    Which address did you receive your SSN? Same address of GC?

    Ah! Pretty common! It doesn’t hamper their approval decision. Latent TB is very commonplace and my friend applied from US also had latent TB. He adjusted his i485 without any issues. So no worries! Everything will be fine 😊

    Congrats! Mine is set for “Tuesday” delivery. Considering the incessant snowfall over the weekend, i won’t be surprised if they delay few days.

    Hey sorry hear your situation. If it’s like vaccination, tubercolosis or xray, it’ll be cleared soon i guess. Perhaps you can ask the panel physician what was wrong there? otherwise i guess it’ll be cleared asap!

    They’ll make copies by themselves. I carried extra copies which they didn’t check at all

    @Magnetron_ hi, did you get tracking number yet? I didn’t

    I lived in germany for 2 years and netherlands for 1 year. Both of those pcc were collected back in 2017 and as i never have been there, i didn’t collect updated pcc. If your DQ is done and you never went back to that country after collecting pcc, it should be fine. in worst case, a tough review officer may give you 221(g) asking you to resubmit updated pcc. Which is nothing more than 1 month wait usually.
  20. monk_yatso
    You don’t need to get another canadian pcc. Wastage of money

    I think it entirely depends upon the particular visa officer. Mine showing issued. Sometimes officers clear several visas in bulk. no need to worry

    We got approved today. Entire process was super smooth. Our appointment was at 8am, went there 10 min before and they put us in right away. Afterwards, pretty simple process. 1. Security check: passing through metal detector. Didn’t take any phone or watch, so it was smooth. They gave a token number to wait for doc submission 2. It took around 30 min to get called at doc submit booth. Me, spouse and little daugher (8 years old). It took longer for us as we lost our original birth certificates and pulled up the new one recently which was in new format. So the officer in counter had to take a copy and scanning it. they do have all the color photocopy of pur submitted civil docs during DQ process. So there is no need to pile up photocopies i believe. For each person, Just: 2 passport photo original passport birth cert police clearance marriage certificate after doc review we waited again and called for fingerprinting 2. Gave fingerprint. My little daughter got a bit disheartened seeing that only adults need to give fingerprints. The lady was kind enough to take her dummy fingerprints 😊 3. We waited for around 10-15 more min and were called for final interview. The officer was extremely friendly. We took oath and gave fingerprints again. He just asked: . So you’ve applied for EB-2 self petition? . Have you ever bin in Us? . Which visa (F1 and F2) . Which US city we wanna relocate . Any crime history/arrest before? . Which years i stayed in germany and netherlands . To my little daughter -> how was your US experience -> she was prudent enough to say i can’t remember. I was 6 months old then my wife said we’re planning to take her to florida disneyland this April -> the officer said delightedly, wow! i’m putting that in notes! then the officer said congratulations! Your visa is approved. You should get these back within 10 days. Then he opened a candy box and gave a few to my daughter. So total it took around 1.5 hrs for us. This group has always been extremely helpful. All the best everyone!
