How easy is it to move from Canada to the USA?

How do I move to the USA from Canada with my husband in an emergency situation?

• SO.. Here is the deal. I met my husband in 2009 we just got married in Jan. I went to see him in the US and he came up here with me shortly after. We got married in Canada, and we have been looking in to where we want to live. I was going to apply to get him PR in Canada but I don't have the money to do it. I also don't have any family to help me in Canada. His mom and dad want us to go down there, they also want to apply to get me a green card. My hours just got cut and we have to think of something fast. We love each other very much and he doesn't want to leave me up here like this with really no family to help me. My question is: "Will they let me across the border if my intentions are to obtain a green-card and live with my husband and his parents if I can prove they have an income of at least 125% of the poverty level for a family of 4" When I went down before, I had to provide information of a job in Canada and a place in Canada. so they would be OK in me leaving and even then they only gave me a month, but we were not married at the time. so... "Will they let me go to live with my husband and his family without proof of assets, lease, or job based on this criteria?" -We are both upstanding citizens with no criminal history.

• Answer:

  Just because you now find yourself alone and in a bit of a bind in Canada, does not mean you get to jump the queue and go straight to the front of the line. There is NO way to make immigration to the US go any quicker. If you show up at the boarder and say you are going to live with your husband, you will be refused entry. It does not matter how much him and his family make above the poverty level. If you don't say anything, yet manage to get in, you don't stand much of a chance to stay and adjust status because of prior intentions. If he files for a spousal visa for you, then you attempt to cross, you most more than likely will be refused entry, as you are an overstayer risk. I know none of what I have said is what you wanted to hear. However I did tell you the truth. Have your husband go and speak with an immigration attorney if you don't believe me.
