Hello,

Please can someone help clarify. When a principal applicant lands before his family, he needs to declare the amount of money he has, when the other family members land will they also need to declare any money ?

Thanks

The principal must declare the whole settlement funds for the family when s/he lands. The family arriving later doesn't have to show settlement funds.

PMM,

Thanks very much for the info.

Next question. We will be going to Montreal and our connecting flight is in New York . Do we need a transit visa ?

Thanks.

hi,
if you have a connecting flight in USA you will need a US visa for that.
USA doesn't issue a transit visa for connecting flights anymore.

I thought you'll need a visa only if you are getting out of the airport.

if you come from a visa exempt country like japan or korea in asia, then yes you don't need a visa to enter the us.
if you come from china. indonesia or philippines, you need a visitors visa even if you will just stop in the airport in the us. they have stopped issuing the transit visas in 911.
