Re: Annual Leave Entitlements

Except for in the financial industry, where many banks have a mandatory annual 10 day block-leave policy. That was initially implemented years ago as a fraud prevention measure. I don't recall which...

Re: US Visa query

I agree with the other responses that based on the information you have provided, immigrating to USA might be a longshot. You might want to take a look at Canada, though. Canada is not easy to...

Re: Moving and working USA through marriage

This is true, I view hiring an experienced attorney as an insurance policy, too. My company transferred me from New Jersey to Montreal in 2015. They have a Canadian firm they use, which took care of...

Re: A pickle - I-90 14 years too late?

Re: Moving with our dog

As others have suggested, the airline might have additional requirements, so it's a good idea to check with them also. That being said, we travel by car from Canada to the US fairly regularly and...

Re: exemptions from 6 month rule?

Agreed, in your case I see no downside to getting US citizenship sooner rather than later. In my case, I was a US permanent resident from 1984 until finally getting US citizenship in 2008 - but the...

This is an old thread, but i noticed you didn't state specifically anywhere whether your husband is the father of your kids or not. Assuming he is, they may have aquired US Citizenship at birth....

Re: ESTA Travel not authorised and B1B2 repeated refusal

That's the key point right there. People who are eligible for VWP are often not given B1/B2 visas, because presumably 90 days are thought to be enough time for a normal visit. People from countries...

Re: UK motorbike licence - Limbo ?

No, Quebec doesn't exchange bike licenses either. Only class 5, regular car license. But it's not that difficult to get a bike license in Quebec. It's 3 steps, Knowledge test (written test) first,...

Re: N400 Interview - Tax Returns?

Same here. When I naturalized in 2008, I brought copies of everything listed, and everything else I though might be relevant. The interviewer didn't ask for any of it except my green card.

Re: ESTA is not possible if I was denied to get B-2?

Re: Potential plan for us

I am just pointing out that it is an option. Note that UPS mailboxes are not the same as a PO box. The address format of an UPS box is different, and more flexible.

Re: Dual citizen full time employed UK + seasonal job in USA tax??
