  • 枫下茶话 / 美国话题 / 请教各位，本欲前往美国做三个月的项目，哪知动身的前一天被通知项目被取消。现持此B1/B2签证（4个月），有何渠道能尽快去美工作？这种情况对申请H1-B签证有无好处？ -guest:warm; 2001-4-29 (#57314@0)
    • 看来没有用，我前一段在这里问做黑工行不行，都没人回答 -guest:; 2001-4-29 (#57321@0)
      • 呵呵，这个坛子里的都是新人，4年以上的甚少，俺长这么大，米国签证长什么样都没有见过，不敢乱说呀 :-) -flying_snow(飞雪浮冰); 2001-4-29 (#57326@0)
        • 4年以上就用TN1了，还用H1作甚。 -guest:; 2001-4-29 (#57345@0)
          • TN－1不能用来申请绿卡，一年得续一次，H1是最后要申请绿卡必经的 -numnum(numnum); 2001-4-29 (#57362@0)
            • 我正想请教,如果不想申请美国绿卡,那么TN1和H1有什么大的分别? 比如,买房,公司保险,退休计划,以及今后申请父母探亲什么的? -luoboyang(萝卜秧); 2001-4-29 (#57420@0)
              • TN－1限制比较大，尤其是在过边境是，虽然在美国后，你可以买房什么的，但在过边境时候绝对不能说自己买了房，绝对不能给边境的人你要留在美国的感觉 -numnum(numnum); 2001-4-29 (#57432@0)
                • 是么? 不太理解,加拿大护照也这样吗? 我知道好几个白人都是这样,已经有人呆了十几年了.我公司里的一个印度人也是这样.拿着这种签证虽然要一年一续,但一般没有任何问题. -luoboyang(萝卜秧); 2001-4-29 (#57471@0)
                  • TN－1签证比H1好的地方是： H1签证不可以续签， -numnum(numnum); 2001-4-29 {920} (#57544@0)
                    如果你6年H1签证用光了，还是没有拿到绿卡，就必须离开美国。 你知道的在美国生活了几十年的白人，如果说是工作了几十年，估计都是拿到绿卡的，否则太麻烦。申请绿卡必须要把你的TN－1签证转成H1或者L－1（同公司转到美国BRANCH〕加哪大本地人一般通过H1申请绿卡没有问题，因为美国是按出生国来给每个国家排队的，中国人拿加拿大护照，因为出生在中国。绝大不分中国人在美国是通过E31类（skilled workers)来申请的。在这类申请时，所有在美国申请绿卡，跟在美国的留学生和持H1签证的人一起排队等，每年给中国只有9600绿卡名额，跟台湾的一样。 所以一般递上申请，要等两，三年才开始审理有可能H1过期了，绿卡还没下来，但最要命的是， 申请绿卡这些年中，你不可以换公司， 对你的事业可能会非常不利。 所以比较头疼，我现在考虑用E12类来申请， 这类是不受9600QUOTA限制， 叫做outstanding researchers, 如果你念书时候发表过两篇论文，工作中有些专利，可以考虑这一类，但省核比较严，并要得到雇主的配合。另外TN－1签证只是最近几年的事情，是NAFTA的产物，以后NAFTA如果没了，TN也没了。
                    • TN没是不会的，如果中国的新移民太多影响到美国本土人的就业，提高TN发放门槛是难免的，现在发系统分析员的TN就要求有相关专业的学历，加拿大的COLLEGE毕业要两年工作经验 -guest:; 2001-4-29 (#57552@0)
                    • 你说的我基本上都知道,在美国有很多的朋友讲各种身份的故事.但是,你上个帖子说的关于不要让美国边境知道你在美国买房子的事例是我第一次听说. -luoboyang(萝卜秧); 2001-4-30 {326} (#57764@0)
                      所以,我想多知道这方面的规定. 因为我的朋友中以加拿大身份过去的极少,(我来的比较早),有一个朋友只是在那里工作,每周飞来回.
                      正因为我知道中国人在那里依然是排同一个队,所以我想知道没有绿卡的加拿大人在那里有什么不便之处,尤其是孩子教育,买房和申请家里人探亲之类.我猜你马上就要溜过去了.你知道什么那边的论坛这类人比较
                      集中吗?
                      多谢多谢!
                      • I worked on TN-1 Visa in San Jose before. You can buy a house in US with the same price that Americans are supposed to pay, but you don't want to let those border guys know that you have purchased a house -numnum(numnum); 2001-4-30 {965} (#57923@0)
                        because the TN-1 visa is a non-immigration visa, you will get turned down right away if they know you have set up your home there. If your kids go to a public school for college, you will have to pay out-of-state tuition , which may easily double what Americans have to pay, unless your kid was born in US(thus becomes a US citizen). As far as I know , it's easy for a TN-1 visa holder to sponsor his spouse to live with him in US on TN-2 (his spouse can not work), but for other relatives, it's almost impossible to get TN-2. Another thing you should pay attention when applying for a TN-1 on the border is that the only eligible computer related profession is "computer system analyst", so make sure your employer specify your duty as a system analyst in the offer letter and bring your degree certificate and its evaluation letter(if your degree was obtained in china, you have to get it evaluated by a US organization.. I don't know much about details).
                        • Thanks! Very Helpful! -luoboyang(萝卜秧); 2001-4-30 (#58001@0)
                    • for me USA GC is really useless, I happen to work in Detroit area for big3 as engineer under NAFTA, I commute between canada/usa 10 times or more a week. -guest:guest; 2001-4-30 {789} (#58065@0)
                      for general travel purpose, a canadian citizen status is pretty enough, believe me, when i cross border, nether side asks me for a certificate---'ctizenship?', 'canadian'; 'what for?', 'blabla';... then i go.

                      in fact it is more ideal to live as an ontario resident while commuting between ca/usa:

                      1. early morning commuting (tunnnel, bridge, I-75, I-94) is not bad in terms of traffic, from ca to Ford it takes ~20min only, if you do not treat the border as a country boundary, you feel nothing;

                      2, earn us$, spend in ca, even considering the tax difference---you know what? here there are 3 casinos, but people still love to go windsor for gambling, cost you less and maybe earn more (if you win)---and along hwy I-75, the ad just says nothing but "go windsor, 1$=1,5x"
                      • As long as you can find job in Detroit -guest:which is not easy!; 2001-4-30 (#58082@0)
                      • I know somebody live/work like you, but Detroit is kind of terrible city for me. So, if I couldn't earn US$ in US and live in Canada at the same time, I have to consider TN-1 and something else. -luoboyang(萝卜秧); 2001-4-30 (#58084@0)
                        • when we talk Detroit, we talk about MDA (metro), of course the downtown is kinda sleazy, but its outskirt like Troy, Farmington Hill, Ann Arbor, Bloomfield, Rochester Hill,... are as good as any other good communities. -guest:guest; 2001-5-1 (#58161@0)
                      • "Go windsor, 1$=1,5x".Gee i like that. last time i did that was 9 years ago, but it was "1$=1.19x" then. every thing looks so cheap south of the boarder . it's kinda hard to beleive that they still tak Canadian$ on par -guest:; 2001-4-30 (#58154@0)
    • 持B1/B2的人只能期望加拿大的公司派你去美国短期工作, 想在美国公司找美国工作的人必须申请H1-B或TN(如果你以有加拿大国籍). -albxu(Yukon); 2001-4-29 (#57349@0)
