US Immigration from Canada

Hi all! I become a LPR last year in October and I moved from Canada. Prior to becoming a resident alien for tax purposes, I was earning income from my regular salaried job in Canada which I expect to receive a T4 slip from this year, as well as through YouTube (I make online videos). My question is, for the income I earned before I became a permanent resident, how should I go about reporting that income on my 2022 U.S. Federal Tax Return? Should this income even be reported? I'm not sure if I'm considered a Dual-Status alien.

I have a tax appointment in the morning and I'll definitely ask these questions. I'm just a little curious because the tax accountant did explicitly say over the phone that his firm does not handle Canadian tax.

I am fully aware that any income earned after I became a permanent resident, including worldwide income, is taxable. I'm just concerned about the income earned before I received my green card. Hope that makes sense. I'd love some insight into this.

Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes.

filed my wife s i130 in August while living apart.

Her name is Jennifer on it is spelled as such On her passport and drivers lic ( Canada). We just got her long form BC from Nova Scotia for use in filing her Adjustment of Status ( hard left turn from original plan but here we are) anyways, so on her birth certificate her first name is spelled Jenifer. One N. Given she hasn t seen this since she was a teenager( so nearly 30 years ago) we had no idea there was a discrepancy between her BC and her passport and ID.

so now we are filing out the papers for her aos and of course this discrepancy is the worry in our minds. When filing the new papers we are thinking we will of course spell it as written on her BC and hope the i130 difference isn t a big deal should we include a note on why there s a discrepancy?

Hello VJ Community,

I am just posting this for anyone who may be wondering whether USCIS reads or considers unsolicited evidence you upload to your USCIS online account when no RFE is requested. Based on our case, I would say yes after receiving my A-file via FOIA. My AOS was approved last month after waiting for over 1.5 years. Along the way, we accumulated more evidence to make our case stronger. My husband uploaded a new I-864 when I finally got a US job with evidence as the first one submitted at initial filing was very weak. We also uploaded new evidence of bona fide marriage that we accumulated since filing.

Being a "curious George", I elected to see what USCIS has about me so I requested my A-file via FOIA online. I received the ~1000 pages that USCIS has about me 10 days after FOIA request. The file showed that they used the unsolicited evidence to approve our case and waive our interview. We meant to give them an updated I-864 in our interview but I am glad we uploaded online instead. Our case was approved without interview. I always wondered whether USCIS uses unsolicited evidence that you upload and based on my FOIA A-file, they did. All unsolicited evidence that I thought made my case stronger were used. I just wanted to share.

Hello,
I need to translate birth certificate and Nikah Nama into English since both are in urdu language. I remembered I used to notarized the documents or translation from civic center. Currently I m outside of country and send it to my uncle. But he didn t find any notary public or translation shop there.

If someone recently did this or know about where exactly in Karachi we can do translations of birth certificate and Nikahnama documents and also notarized the documents .

Many thanks in advance,

Hi,

My wife is immigrating to the U.S. from Canada and recently had her immigration interview at the consulate in Montreal. We have a question on filling out Part 2 U.S. Entry Information. She has lived her entire life in Canada on a border town of the U.S. She has crossed hundreds of times over 30 years. She's never lived in the U.S., only visited many times. Do we still fill out Part 2?

Thanks

Josh
