Yes, a stroller can usually go on a plane, though most families check it at the gate or ticket counter based on size and airline rules.

Yes, a spouse may work in Canada, but only if the student’s program and permit status meet the current open work permit rules. A lot of couples assume a student permit automatically gives the husband or wife the right to work in Canada. That used to feel closer to the truth than it does now.

No, a China passport does not give automatic entry to Taiwan; most travelers need Taiwan-issued permission tied to status and trip purpose. Many travelers expect this to work like an ordinary visa question. It doesn’t. Taiwan handles entry for mainland Chinese nationals under a separate set of cross-strait rules, so the answer is rarely a

No, a new employer must file its own petition before you can work under L-1 specialized-knowledge status.

Yes, most jewelry, watches, and hair accessories are fine, but bulky metal pieces can slow screening and may need removal.

Yes, passport renewal status can be tracked online, though updates often take up to two weeks to appear after submission. Waiting on a passport renewal can feel longer than the processing time on paper. You mail off your old passport, photo, form, and payment, then you’re left wondering where the application is, whether it arrived,

Yes, scissors can go in checked bags, and many short-blade pairs can also pass carry-on screening under TSA rules. Scissors are one of those travel items that feel simple until you’re packing at midnight and second-guessing every pocket. The good news is that checked baggage is the easy lane.
