Let's hope you did not violate city/county codes at your in-laws' house - insurances can be pretty funny.
Google for electrician licensing for the state you plan to move to.

If I understand the process correctly, it will be up to your USC wife to convince the immigration people that she can adequately support you when you move to the US. It may be necessary to resort to getting her parents (or someone else) to act as co-sponsors if her personal resources aren't sufficient to get you into the country.I did it all to the NEC 2008 so should be good. I was hoping for more info on the immigration side of things, which forms to use? I know we have to do the I-130 then after that I'm lost. Wondered how long the time scale would be and if I could do it from in country?
I don't think you can submit the forms to the consulate in Winnipeg though.Filing Instructions
Please refer to the instructions on the I-130 Form itself.
Download Form I-130
Documents required at the time of filing an I-130 at U.S. consular officers in Canada:
* Form I-130 for each intending immigrant, regardless of age.
* Payment of the filing fee for each I-130 of US$355. Payment may be in cash or credit card if applying in person. If initially by mail to Toronto, it may be by US$ money order or cashier's check. A receipt is returned to the petitioner after filing.
* Two Biographic Information Forms (G-325A) - one for the petitioner, one for the beneficiary; with recent passport-style photo attached to the bottom right corner or the form.
* Evidence of the petitioner's U.S. citizenship, such as a U.S. passport, U.S. birth certificate or U.S. Naturalization or Citizenship Certificate.
* Evidence of Petitioner's legal long term residence status in Canada, such as a provincial healthcare card, provincial driving license or Canadian immigrant card.
* Petitioner's complete long form birth certificate (if filing on behalf of a parent.)
* Beneficiary's complete long form birth certificate.
* Both parties' Current complete marriage certificate.
* All parties divorce decrees or death certificates showing termination of all prior marriages of petitioner and beneficiary and any derivative relatives, if marriage is the basis of the qualifying relationship, i.e. spouse or stepchild relationship.
* If applicant's name is different from that on his/her birth certificate, all past marriage certificates, court decrees or other legal evidence of a name change.
* Original documents (i.e. civil records issued under the original seal, stamp or signature of the government or official custodian) must be presented to the U.S. consular officer together with a photocopy. Original documents will be returned. Any document written in a language other than English must be accompanied by a certified translation.
* You may photo-copy your U.S. naturalization certificate for use by the U.S. Government contrary to the prohibition stated on the certificate. If the petitioner submits photocopies to Vermont, the beneficiary must submit the originals at the time of the immigrant visa interview.
Pushing it.maybe a year or so?
That's actually a very good reason for a re-entry permit. You need to apply before you leave, though.Ok just thought i'd ask as i still have ageing family there etc so could have to visit for long periods if they were ill.
thanks for your help
