    Status change application to B2 got denied...

    Oh yes, your reasons are very flimsy...i.e. 1.) car financing <- this is very weak, since only a lease limits you to where you can take the car 2.) selling stuff <- you mean household goods, clothes ??? these can be done in 1 week on craigslist 3.) visiting relatives <- yeah...

    TN layoff problems: status and EI

    I went thru this scenario in Feb 2008....though my endgame was different. I never contacted service canada...I did not intend to return to canada, but from my understanding, which I am on the same page with Nelsona, you have to gauge your chances of getting a job in US, before you start...

    Stimulus benefits with wife and kids having ITIN

    That's too much work.... Just file the 2008 tax returns, and assuming u r using turbotax, it will ask you if you got the 2007 stimulus, answer is "no". The system will automatically apply the stimulus into your refund for this tax season. FYI...I was in the same exact boat like u last...

    Data error..... Kenyan Birth Certi.

    Kijana, stop worrying yourself to death, this is a non-issue. If it makes you sleep better at night, get a copy of the newspaper which reports the re-zoning etc and have it in your file to support your argument. Nothing to worry about here either. Just use the approximate year. There were...

    I am curious though....Did you (Wingo) declare your departure to OHIP? if so, then you dont have to wait for the 90 day residency requirement...Your OHIP card will become activated right away (assuming you've been in US for less than 5 yrs)

    about ex ray at point of entry

    Panisalari, If you got the greencard stamp on your passport (i.e. were approved to come to US) then you DONT NEED to worry about the xrays. xrays are just to establish TB issues which should have been noted in the letter you provided to the officer. I got into US via border crossing...
