I would say Canada because British Columbia has a much higher standard of living than Boston. Canada is generally a much better place for raising kids and the stress levels are lower because of freebies like health care etc. BC also has a much better weather compared to Boston.
The other reason is that you could always come to the USA from Canada later but if you lose the Canadian PR now and don't manage to get a green card in the US, you lose everything.
Hi All,
I would really appreciate everyone's honest opinions on this matter.
We filed 140 and 485 concurrently in July 2007, EB3. As of now there is no word on either application. Previously we had also obtained Canadian PR, the 3 year grace period of which will expire this August.
Not only am I faced with a decision of staying in the US or going to Canada, but my future career is on the line too. This year I will be 23. After taking my undergrad degree in electrical engineering, I have been accepted into Boston University Law School in the US as well as the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law in Canada. Canadian lawyers make around half as much as American ones after all factors are considered.
In your opinion, should I stay in the US, going to law school, in hopes that the green card will come through, or should I pursue a new life in Canada, but take the lower future salary / international renown?
This issue is currently causing much discord in my family. I hope to hear your frank opinion so that I won't take my decision lightly.
Many Thanks! :)

the suspicious part was the "utter rascals"
lol u asked the question...i was politely restating it for others
Hmmm so what if I find your description "suspicious" because of the word "suspicious"? Me just stated facts buddy. Here is definition of rascal from online free dictionary:
ras�cal (rskl)
n.
1. One that is playfully mischievous.
2. An unscrupulous, dishonest person; a scoundrel.
I mean #2 here. Unscrupulous because they misuse the forum for ranting and bashing others, dishonest because they bash others they perceive as "bad" for their own GC while pretending to be in IV for everyone's good. Scoundrel, because because they operate on multiple ID's
Some are plain old #1, but they harm too.
So, this is my explanation why I used the words "utter rascals". Come on, now you can give me some greens, because it "helped" you to understand what I meant :p

If so can we explore this option??
I agree with you. Why we don`t explore this option ???? USCIS make so many rule by itself then why they don`t make this rule to file 485 while PD is not current without going in Senate. Like they start premium processing of I-140. They make this rule without any bill in US Senate. correct me if I am wrong
I think, core team should look this option or ask us to find more information about it. I think, core team can meet with high official from USCIS.
what do you guys think about it ??
thx.

I have not been laid off and I don't have problems finding jobs; in fact my company has asked me to search for one more person with a background similar to mine. However I have been limited by the requirements of AC21. I was toying with the idea of leaving the country; but cannot sell my primary residence and might have problems obtaining a visitor visa for re-entry (to close on the house). I was seriously considering investing in some more real estate; but am holding back due to the random AC21 denials. I want to start my own business since I finally got my EAD this year - but with all the uncertainity of AC21 case approvals, I am not willing to put personal resources into a business in this country. Currently I am working on starting a free workshop for investment in my community - which will stop if my I-485 is denied in case my former employer revokes my I-140 (and yes; I did send in the letters for AC21). I have registered my dog with therapy international and volunteer my time for various causes (cabin repair, trail maintenance, public education) and donate regularly to the fire and police - all of these will take a hit if I have to leave.
I wonder what the reporter will conclude if he/she talks to immigrants who have lost jobs and have trouble finding new projects........
Anyway, let me know if I can be of any help.
A top national reporter wants to speak with someone in EB
community who may have recently lost his/her job due to current
economic situation. I think it would be best for our cause for someone
who was offered a new job possibly in the 'same or similar' area
immediately after losing their job. It would help to highlight that
the highly-skilled immigrants are in demand because of their skills
even when the economic situation is not doing well, but, there is no
reason to keep us in limbo for over a decade, merely to test our skill
level. There are better ways to test our skill level. If you or
someone you know fits this profile, kindly email your information and contact details to info at immigrationvoice.org
immediately.
The reporter will also highlight the housing angle and that we can
start new ventures that could potentially create new jobs to uplift
the economy.
This is a big opportunity as the interview from this reporter will be published in most big newspapers and on news websites. We need someone urgently today if possible.
===================
UPDATE FROM THE REPORTER
Actually, what I'm looking for is very broad -- anyone on a work permit
who is concerned about the current economic situation and job losses in
the U.S. economy.
==============
The reporter is trying to speak to immigrants waiting for their Greencards about their concerns about job security, if they have a plan B, if they've been pushed out in restructurings/layoffs and moved to a new job, etc, as they hear the layoffs this year are affecting such people, particularly in the
financial sector
====================
So I guess a lot of people on the forum will qualify. If you are good with interviews, pls contact asap.

No. You do not pay double Taxes.
US & Canada have a tax treaty. Nearly always Canadian Income Tax is higher than US, so you pay US taxes first and then when you file Canadian taxes you get credit for the amount of US Taxes you paid.
so ex you make 70 K and your US Taxes come to 20 K , you go ahead and pay 20K. Then when you file Canadian taxes, your tax amt comes out to be say 25 K You will then only pay Canada Revenue 5 K difference.
Only complication is Canada doesnt recognise US 401K contribution or mortgage as tax deductable, so you will have to calc Canadian taxes on gross income.

AT the POE the visa officer will know where you are. Apart from regualr list of docs for h4 stamping I dont think any other doc is required! But please verify with your attorney.

Thanks Guys!
PenFed.org seems be good option. I'm comparing my local credit union, lending tree and eLoan. I'll share my experience once its done. Thanks again.
I bought a home in April. I was almost ready to go with e-loan, but it turned out my builder had his own mortgage company and he was giving me a discount on the price, if I used his mortgage.
And the rates were pretty much the same everywhere, so I chose my builder over eloan.

I agree with you map_boiler. I have also seen from some other thread that some one with EB3/India/Apr 2004 PD got approval in July. If the July bulletin is void , How can they approve that ?
You are right , It looks like they approved cased with NO PD but with ready FBI check and also requested numbers for the current PD but sec check pending.
If a APR2004/EB3/India can get approval after Jul 2 , How can they reject EB3/INDIA/DEC2003 but filed on Jul2 ?
Returning numbers raise whole lot of questions. It remains to be seen how they try to untangle this mess.
I guess i dont have a PD as old as some of the other folks , but Its been 3 yrs since we applied to 485 and still waiting on some news. 3 FP's. 4 EADs and not a single update online. Am i STUCKKKKK..
cheers

btw u answered for ur urself, i'll just repeat with a change "why are you replying to this!" go see a doctor, is my advise.

Hi friends,
Can we start working for the new company immediately once the transfer petition is mailed i.e. without waiting for the EAC number ?
NO.
Mailed is not equal to received or applied for transfer. Until you have proof that USCIS has received your application, dont start at the new employer. Waiting for the receipt # is the safe route down the road even though you have to delay by a week or so.

Unfortunately, Canadian authorities don't take I-94 as it is nothing to do with them and don't pass it to US CBP.
Even if I come back - may walk to US border point to return I-94, the issue is not returning I-94 alone it is the date of leaving as there won't be any stamping or any record of leaving.
