US Immigration from Canada

Hi all! New to this site & excited to start the process with my fianc - we've known each other for 3 years, dating for 1.5 & newly engaged on Christmas. We're ready to spend our forever together.

I'm from Ontario, Canada, he's from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I've visited him numerous times over the past years and since our relationship grew organically, we have no issues with committing to each other now. We've been toying with the idea of just making things official with a courthouse ceremony with the two of us in Florida now & having our grand ceremony this summer with family & friends in July. My question is - will this raise questions during the CR1 process? If we do the paperwork now & celebration later?

Thanks in advance!

In 2 weeks me and my child(non biological petitioner's child) will have the interview(CR1+IR2) in Montreal at the same time.Anyone experienced this situation before?Any tips would be appreciated .

Thanks again in advance for your time.

I am moving to US in Feb 2022 on CR1. I am a Canadian Permanent Resident. I understand that I am authorised to work in the US remotely for my Canadian employer. I will no longer have a residence in Canada or any investments here. I will be residing in New Hampshire and will be working from home there.

I wanted to confirm what my tax implications would be. If you are familiar with US/ Canada taxation, please help to confirm/ correct my understanding of the following:

1. I would remain a Canadian tax resident, and need to pay income tax to both the province where my company is based and the federal Govt of Canada.

2. I would have to pay US federal income tax. However it would only be the difference between the taxes paid in Canada, if any. In other words I can avoid double taxation, because the Canadian tax is generally higher than the US.

3. Question - When filing taxes in the US, would there be any benefit of filing taxes married filing separately over married filing jointly ? What are the pros and cons of both in my scenario.

If anyone has any resources to share, that would be appreciated. I couldn t find much literature online about my scenario

Thanks very much for reading, and I hope someone has advice for me

Hi everyone,

I'm having a weird problem. When I print the 485 form (after completing it out beyond the fields where I need to do it manually), the bottom bar code (QR code?) turns into some gibberish numbers.

So this part attached turns into not the weird black and white bar-like code but a bunch of numbers.

Is this normal? Is there something wrong with my printer? For those who submitted the 485, did your print jobs do that too?

Thank you, and happy new year!

Hello I was wondering if anyone has been in the same place as me. My Canadian Passport expired just as Covid began. I live in Michigan and I was planning a day trip to see if I could cross and renew my Passport. I have an appointment at Passport Canada in Windsor. They only do the Express Service if you have travel documents proving that you definite travel plans. So I would have to go back in a few weeks to pick it up. I am just worried that they will refuse me entry seeing as my Passport is expired. I work in a hospital so I can not stay in Canada, with Covid being so bad. Has anyone experienced this ? Did you have problems crossing or coming back to the USA ?

Thanks
