I think it will be smooth. Landing by road is easier than by air. You need to do the following as soon as you have landed. I recommend you land early in the morning as gov. offices are closed at noon:
1. Locate an HR office and get your SIN number. This will take 30 min to an hour once you are there. You will need to show your Passport and COPR document as a proof.
2. Locate the medical insurance office and obtain your medical insurance card.
3. Go to the post office and obtain a PO box.
4. Open a bank account. Use the PO box address as mailing addres.
Good luck.
Marty,
Is it necessary to apply for SIN and Medical at this point since we are not settling in Canada for atleast few months?

I pledge $100.
Can we set a target of $100,000. Lets not forget other IV core too. Even they might have spent money. We should set up an administrative account.
Also can we send emails to everyone like the action alert, so that more people can join?

I think the major bone of contention among the legislators is what to do about the illegal immigrants currently in the country. Amnesty OR no amnsesty is the major debate. Other than that both are in a common frame of mind (in some way) one way or the other regarding - border enforcement, legal immigration, retrogression relief. Now, it looks like there is a common agreement that the skillful legal immigration issue has to be separated from the illgegal immigration related Amnesty OR no Amnesty debate. Hopefully we should see something positive in the next few months. This article seems to indicate in that direction since they have agreed upon one more item, border enforcement -

Last sentence in this article: "However, given the anticipated difficulty in reaching an agreement on comprehensive reform, SKIL Act supporters likely must find an alternative legislative vehicle during the lame-duck session to pass limited relief for highly-educated workers."
What alternative legislative vehicle are they talking about?

Desi3933 - Thank you for sharing this link. Now I totally believe it.
As promised before, now after looking at DOL web site, I will shut up.
Since you asked -
Here is link from Department of Labor website. Read for yourself and I have included relevant quote.
Link (http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/title_20/Part_655/20CFR655.731.htm)
(ii) Even if the H-1B nonimmigrant has not yet "entered into employment" with the employer (as described in paragraph (c)(6)(i) of this section), the employer that has had an LCA certified and an H-1B petition approved for the H-1B nonimmigrant shall pay the nonimmigrant the required wage beginning 30 days after the date the nonimmigrant first is admitted into the U.S. pursuant to the petition, or, if the nonimmigrant is present in the United States on the date of the approval of the petition, beginning 60 days after the date the nonimmigrant becomes eligible to work for the employer. For purposes of this latter requirement, the H-1B nonimmigrant is considered to be eligible to work for the employer upon the date of need set forth on the approved H-1B petition filed by the employer, or the date of adjustment of the nonimmigrant's status by INS, whichever is later.

Basically if employers are not willing to sponsor they must have ads as "Non restrictive work authorization" required and if the job needs security clearance they must say "only security clearance"
There are some jobs that require US citizens only without any security clearance requirements. Many defense related projects are like that. Not everyone will need security clearance, but everyone in the project must be US citizen.

My problem is simple.. do not misrepresent the facts, which is what seems to be the case here.. How can you have a H1 and not get paid??? Do you have any other logical reasoning? If the person has H1 and is not getting paid then there can only be two lawful situations: 1) person is on leave of absence, which is without pay or 2) has not yet started the job.
To answer your questions, yes my wife came here on H4 but she just did not approach a consultant for a job.. instead she went to school, got her degree, applied for jobs, gave interviews and finally got a job. BTW her company does not work with consultants, as it is not an IT company but a finance Big4. They used their own attorney to file for her H1. As luck could have, her application was not even considered as it did not come in the lottery draw. This happened twice.. Later we got our EAD and she started working with it. And yes, I know few more people who went through the same thing.. and all of them went to school in the US.
sathweb, I don't have anything against you or anyone else here on IV.. I feel bad when people look down on H1 visa holders as they think everyone is exploiting the system, which you know is not true. Some people misrepresent their cases and we all get bad name.
What�s your problem man? You are mad because your wife did not get H1B/Job? What do you say to a American citizen who is saying that you took his job? It�s all part of the game. Everyone is trying to improve their life.
How can you tell your wife is better? Your wife is doing exactly the same, converting from H4 to H1B. Did she have job offer when she came to USA? You must have come through some consulting company, what kind of offer letter you had when you came to US?
Everyone is playing by the rules, otherwise we would not have been here. dont think you are the only one playing by the rules.
How can you tell he/she is representation false?
People like you are the ones who are dividing the community.

I also heard from my attorney yesterday that the checks are being processed now. I don't have any information other than that. Can I also call them and get the receipt numbers -- what information do I need to get the number? My case was sent to TSC...
Thank you!
Today I saw that my checks were cashed and I called USCIS to get the receipt numbers. The IO was very polite and gave me the numbers. Although I had filed at the Nebraska center, the receipt number starts with SRC (Texas).
