Subject: Out of status yet?
  Hi guys,

My situation is quite complicated and I want some advice from experienced member in this forum, please help.

Here are the issues:
I have sent our passports (I am dependent applicant, my wife is already in Canada) to Buffalo for Visa Stamps for 3 days now. I have two cars and I already took one to Canada on visitor visa a month ago and left it at my wife´s place. I was on H1B Visa and I have resigned from my job for almost 3 weeks to prepare for the landing.


1. How long can I stay in the US to wait for the Passport to come back so I can land?
2. Am i out of status? Will I have any trouble traveling back to US in the future for this?
3. What is the timeline for gettting the passports back from Buffalo?
4. Is it illegal to leave US registered car in Canada after exiting on visistor visa? if it is not legal, do I need to pay fine or what is the trouble?
5. Is there any limit to the amount of goods I can bring into canada as the dependent applicant, etc 2 cars ok?

Thanks alot for your help. I appreciate it.

Most of your questions can be properly answered by contacting Canadian Border Security Agency or USINS. I think you will find there is no limit to houshold goods as long as they are declared.

Hi 3T,
According with my experience, you have to formaly import your car to Canada. They are not gonna charge you for this.
We imported two cars. They are almost brand new, thats why they charge me with something (not a big deal). When you go
to registrate your car in Canada, they are gonna ask you for a paper that inmigration will give you the day of landing, to give you a break with the taxes. Otherwise I think you can get in trouble. You better be sure of what you are doing, and even more if you can not go back to the States.
And no, they won´t charge anything for the goods you take with you or the goods to follow.

Good luck.

Thanks for the response Roy and Cabuce. However I still can not get any answers on questions from 1 to 4.
Clarification: I plan to export both cars but I will export the one left in Canada later in the "Goods to follow list" because I can´t drive 2 cars at the same time. Eventhough I cant go back to the US but I can always deny entry to US and finish all the formalities at the border.

Answers for 1 to 4 please. Thanks
