And oi Stockport is NOT in Lancashire as Plymouth is in Devon -- it is in Cheshire and the locals were Not Happy with the "Greater Manchester" 1974 administrative county change. I'd say you'd make a *great* Canary, silvermine
Everton are nowhere now that Mr Rooney has left.

Anyways.... if it were transferrable I'd be ever so grateful if you'd give it to me
**NAFTA allows a work visa but not permanent residency. However, it is easier to establish oneself under that programme in either country (US<->Canada) to get PR/landed immigrant status.

point 2 - why..? you need to show a passport when you arrive in the usa along with your green card. does it matter what sort of passport ?

Why confuse the issue? You're providing them with ammunition to use against you. These uniformed drones are programmed to look for out-of-the-ordinary red flags. If you like sitting in secondary inspection as your luggage goes round the carousel on it lonesome own,so be it! I'd rather be having a fag outside!
Use the passport you applied for your GC with. If they don't ask, don't tell.
