US Immigration from Canada

Hello-

We are both almost 20 and my boyfriend and I want to marry and have him stay here. I (USC) stayed with him in Canada for a few months. Then we came to Houston recently to his mom's who is a permanent resident here. He's from Canada. I understand all the forms and I will most likely require a sponsor. I work full time now in Houston, started recently $10 an hour with good tips at a high class restaurant, but my parents have always filed their income tax with me as their dependent in California. So I've never filed an income tax on my own. His mom is a permanent resident and will sponsor. I am concerned about the I 944 and I 864 because I've never filed income tax on my own and have only recently started working full time. His mom earns 65,000 a year and has about 350,000 in cash assets. My boyfriend and I have combined 27,000 US in cash assets. He is student finishing associate's in finance.

Can my boyfriend and I marry and have him adjust status and stay?

Thanks

Kierra

We filed for AOS in Dec 2019 and have been waiting for the interview since Feb 2020. Finally got scheduled for January 19th and was so excited. Now I am just so bummed

Hi all, I have some money with a Canadian bank (in CAD) that I want to bring over to the US for investing following a move. Normally I would do Norbert's gambit with my Canadian broker to convert a large sum like this, but since become a non-resident, they wont let me trade in my account, and I can't open any new accounts with other brokers either. In any case, I think doing the conversion in Canada may have some undesired tax consequences.

In light of that I was thinking it may make sense to transfer the money to a CAD account with a US bank/broker, and do Norbert's Gambit that way. My Canadian investment broker had the option to hold both USD and CAD accounts, but I haven't seen much of that with the US brokers (Fidelity, Vanguard).

Is this an option that some brokers offer? Do I have better options available? I'd like to avoid paying thousands in foreign exchange fees.

Hey Visa Journey!

Hypothetical question. If a person is a passort holder from a country that doesn't have visa requirements eg.Canada, UK and they need to travel outside of the U.S. right after naturlization, are they able to return to the states with valid foreign passport and their naturlization certificate? Would that individual have to wait for their U.S. passport to be issued or can they travel and re-enter the states while the U.S. passsport is still pending?

Much Thanks!

My fianc lives in Canada, but he's not a Canadian citizen (he's Jamaican). He applied for his Canadian PR (permanent residency) January 2020, but it is still processing. We have not seen each other since January 2020 due to the border closure, and since he is not a Canadian citizen, we cannot visit each other (Canada only allows visitors who are related to a citizen or are in long-term relationships with citizens). Unfortunately he also cannot fly to the U.S. because he only has a work visa in Canada and he's afraid he wouldn't be allowed back in to Canada should he leave.

I hope his pending Canadian PR application does not confuse/interfere with our pending K1. Should you have any knowledge on this topic, please let me know. I appreciate this message board and have found some anxiety-reducing posts. Thank you for sharing all the information you've uncovered and experienced. Good luck to all.
