No issues on both fronts as long as you have adhered to the terms and conditions while obtaining the Canadian Visa. I had similar circumstances in the recent past.
A factor to consider is the unpredictable time spent at the secondary inspection when returning. I am not sure how that will work when you drive across the border.

Because of the shortage of talent companies are moving their operations abroad. Wells Fargo just announced they're opening a technical center in India. No wonder the H1B and EB visa reform is long overdue...

Wells Fargo to open tech center in India
Bank says the opening is not a cost-cutting move, but a result of a shortage of qualified technical talent in the U.S.
By Reuters
Published: August 1, 2006, 10:46 AM PDT
U.S. bank Wells Fargo on Tuesday said it plans in the fourth quarter to open a technology facility in Hyderabad, India, citing a shortage of qualified technical talent in the United States.
The San Francisco-based company said the opening is not a cost-cutting move, and will not result in the loss of U.S. jobs. It also said it will not employ customer service personnel or manage customer data at the facility.
U.S. commercial banks with large India operations include Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase.
Wells Fargo said the facility will provide technology resources, including software development. It plans at first to hire 30 to 50 people for the facility, and might employ as many as 300 next year.
"This is simply about supply and demand," Victor Nichols, Wells Fargo's head of technology information, said in a statement. "Like most major U.S. companies, we're facing a shortage of qualified technical talent, and we're not able to continue to meet this growing demand for such talent here in the United States alone."
Nichols said U.S. computer science graduates have fallen by about one-third in the last four years, while more technology and operations specialists are coming from India.
Wells Fargo said it employs more than 153,000 people in North America. It expects to hire more U.S.-based technology specialists as talent becomes available.
"The comparatively small amount of work we're planning to do in India--the same as work done for us today by outside contractors, some in India--is not motivated by cost savings and thus will have no effect on our U.S.-based employment," Nichols said.

I am in the same boat.
Approved I-140 in EB3 category. Current employer wants to file in EB2 category, they gave me a new job that qualifies for the category but my Attorney says that I have to withdraw my current EB3 application..
I have read so many post here and every where that tells me that it is possible to continue the process but my lawyer says that I need to withdraw EB3 case.... Any one knows good lawyer around DC Metro area with good experience for Eb3 to Eb2 transfer with the same employer

Hi
I have an urgent query. Please help.
I was laid off from my company AA during last week of March-2010. I have not yet singed the lay off letter. And I was rehired by the same AA company on second week of May. I have valid I 94 for next 2 years. But my visa got expired. I was out of payroll for a month. I dont have last 2 payslips.
I have joined the new client through the AA company few days before. My AA compay is asking me to go my Home country and get my Visa stamped and come back. Is there a way that I can continue the employment here without travalling to my Home country at this point ? Are any other better solutions / ways.
Immediate response highly appreciated.
thanks

Here is an example of a massive success of coordinated grass roots effort.
Banks have spent over 100 million dollars to lobby the Congress to stop Financial regulation reform. But targeted and timely 3000 calls from grassroots to Sen. Scott Brown's office has changed the course of this entire debate.
Because of those 3000 calls, Sen. Brown decided to be the 60th vote for the cloture, ultimately resulting in financial reform.
Source: Scott Brown, under pressure from left, votes for regulatory bill | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment (http://dailycaller.com/2010/05/20/scott-brown-under-pressure-from-left-votes-for-regulatory-bill/)
So why did Brown buckle, after voting to uphold the filibuster on Wednesday?
For starters, he received 3,000 phone calls to his office over the last week, all of them by supporters of Organizing for America
Brown received around 900 calls on Thursday alone, a DNC source said.
This is what only handful of us can also help achieve when it matters the most. It needs coordination and timely action from the grassroots and all IV members.

I will be filing my 485 due to the current changes.
I am getting married in December 2007.
1. I am goin to file for my spouse at that time. Is it necessary that the dates should be current in order to file this amendement?
2. I understand that one can file amendment before or within 180 days of acceptance of 485. is this correct ?
3. Is there anyway to know that I am nearing my acceptance of 485?
Your comments are appreciated.

Hi All,
I work for a big software company and they have recently changed their name "XXXXUSA Inc" to "XXXX America Inc". It is just a company name change and everything else is the same. But, we got an email from our Lawyers yesterday that "Your I-485 application remains valid under AC21 portability provisions despite the change in your employment. In order to continue with your existing permanent residence application under the AC21 portability provisions, we will prepare and file a letter to notify the USCIS of the change in your employment from XXX USA, Inc. to XXX America, Inc."
My I140 is approved with XXXX USA Inc and AOS is filed based on that. My concern is that I am travelling to India on AP and come back in Mid May. I have the following questions:
I asked if I can delay this filing until I come back..my lawyers said "While there is no hard USCIS deadline for this particular filing, this project is a high priority for us and our instructions are to complete this project for all employees ASAP. The AC21 filing will not affect your pending I-485 or your entry into the U.S. in any way"
1. Is it true as my lawyers say that there is no deadline to file AC21? My confusion is should i do this or delay until i come back?
2. If they file this letter would there be any impact to the pending I485 and hence my re-entry to US using AP? Because I read so many threads regarding wrong denial of I485 because of AC21? In my case, it is the same company, no chance of I-140 withdrwawl etc...
3. Assuming if I delay the filing, when you enter on AP, i heard they are asking are you still working for the same petitioner? If I some how had to tell them my company name has changed, then would there be any problems because of not filing this?
My POE is SFO.
Please share your opinion guys..thanks for your help.

Hello,
I got a notice today saying that my H1B withdrawal notice has been sent on Sep9th (today).
My new employer applied LCA yesterday (09.08.2009) for my H1B transfer.
What is my status now? can I transfer H1B to new company?
Is my old H1B revoked?
what is my next step to do to stay as legal immigrant?
Thanks in advance.

Dear All,
I got a labor substitution and filed for my I-140 and I-485 concurrently. Today was the last day to send the documents and some paperwork was missing for my wife! I missed sending the package!
Now how should i proceed?? My wife is on H1-B currently. Any ideas??
My priority date is 25 jan 05 - eb2.
Thanks,
KK.
If you missed this time around, you can apply 485 for your wife only when your PD becomes current. Your wife will have to continue working on her H-1B since EAD isn't an option anymore.
Just curious: what paperwork was missing as a result of which you missed this boat? I hope it wasn't trivial in the grand scheme of things.
Thanks,
Jayant

More Americans Give Up Citizenship As IRS Gets Aggressive Overseas (http://news.morningstar.com/newsnet/ViewNews.aspx?article=/DJ/201004050814DOWJONESDJONLINE000053_univ.xml)
The number of American citizens and green-card holders severing their ties with the U.S. soared in the latter part of 2009, amid looming U.S. tax increases and a more aggressive posture by the Internal Revenue Service towards Americans living overseas.
According to public records, just over 500 people worldwide renounced U.S. citizenship or permanent residency in the fourth quarter of 2009, the most recent period for which data are available. That is more people than have cut ties with the U.S. during all of 2007, and more than double the total expatriations in 2008.
An Ohio-born entrepreneur, now based in Switzerland, told Dow Jones he is considering turning in his U.S. passport. Mounting U.S. tax and reporting requirements are making potential business partners hesitate to do business with him, he said.
and the story continues................... :mad:

Hi,
I have a question. I have H1B valid till 2012 under company A and I am working for company A now. Company B is offering me part time employment and they transferred existing H1B transfer. Now I have two H1Bs after transfer, literally. Am I correct? Now I am eligible to work for both the companies. Am I correct?
Hi Raja, you hve it wrong. You dont have two visas its considered as only one. You have transfered your existing VISA to another employer. An H1 transfer is just change of employer for that given visa.
So if you are working with two companies at the same times its considered illegal. But you can work partime with your existing company A, ask the company B to approach your company and work on C2C. But dont forget to update USCIS on your parttime work.

Hi,
I would have some questions concerning my case (didn't really find anything related).
- Up until December I was in the States under a F-1 visa.
- During December my H-1B was approved for my job which starts in February.
- I left the States at the end of December and reentered in February 2010 under the H-1B.
- I will start work in February and applied for a Social Security Number yesterday.
Now I'm not sure how to file taxes for 2009.
Due to the sign-up Bonus which I got for my new job I received a W-2 form which has 2009 written on it. 25% of my Bonus was withheld. Since I was a student in 2009 I'm not sure whether that is too much or the normal amount. Any ideas?
Are there any special forms I have to fill out due to this Bonus? Moreover: Is the Software I use for making my taxes independent of my Visa status? Do I have to indicate somehow that I was an F-1 last year and am now an H-1B. I mean I didn't even have a SSN last year.
I'm really lost here :(. Any help is appreciated.

Just want to know that is there any law
which help to get overtime for full time employee.
I know if you consultant you get paid by hours but not when you become full time employee.
As said earlier, overtime is paid to non-exempt employees. As a white collared employee's most of us are not eligible for overtime. when working as a consultant, your employee contract (if not explicitly, implicitly) gives you a bonus for the overtime that you do. There is no requirement. If you are consulting though, your company might bill overtime if you work overtime, it may or maynot decide to give you that even if they are getting it.
