    Living in Canada with a Green Card

    Privateer, I have the same question that justastudent wasn't sure about: Provided that I obtain a re-entry permit, can I then cross the border with US for a daily trips without a problem or it is not allowed/recommended? In other words, is it OK to say to the custom/immigration officers at the...

    Living in Canada with a Green Card

    I don't think that this is strictly re-inforced, especially if you don't have income in this country. My wife had some tax preparing experience and told me that there were people that have not been filling taxes for years but this doesn't deprive them from the citizenship. The worst that may...

    Living in Canada with a Green Card

    Provided you have both citizenships you can live and work whenever you want because both countries allow for dual citizenship. The only thing is that you may loose some of the benefits that citizenship provides, for example there are some requirements about physically residing in the country if...

    Thank you Baba. It shows a cut off number for July = 23,000. My number is 20xxx and I just sent the letter. Is it possible if they already went above my number not to consider me eligible anymore?

    Living in Canada with a Green Card

    Yes they look. Not every time but some times they punch the names on the computer and check to see if something comes up. I guess the names will be cross-referenced in their database and they will come up even if changed. Otherwise it will be pretty dumb system :) So probably changing the names...

    Living in Canada with a Green Card

    Thank you justastudent and Privateer, Your advices are very helpful and I will keep them on the safe place for reference from now on. I didn't even know that this re-entry permit exists.

    Living in Canada with a Green Card

    Yes, I will eventually move to US but have few reasons to delay it. First I want to find a work there because commuting thru the border everyday is not a pleasant experience with all the delays, alerts, etc. Second, at the time I will eventually receive the green card my son will be in his last...

    DV-2008 case numbers for Europe

    It is strange for me too, provided that I received it in Canada, where the delivery from US should be faster than anywhere else. I just hope that it is not too late when they receive my letter, which may cause my number to be pulled out from the system. I also left the petitioner field blank...

    Living in Canada with a Green Card

    Dear LucyMO, I completely understand your statement that some people 'would move in a heartbeat'. I also understand that for the 99% of those people the reason will be just the economic gain for them and/or their families (especially for the people in Europe in which category I belong). The...

    DV-2008 case numbers for Europe

    Instructions and Pictures That is probably the case, there is no separate piece called 'Instructions ... ' but they are part of the 7 pager letter. Maybe they will send more detailed instructions if they eventually invite me for an interview. What about pictures: is it ok to make them with my...

Provided that my education level is above high school (university), is it safe to answer NO on the question about last 5 years work experince so I don't...
