I'm currently living in Canada and am married to an American citizen. I'm thinking about applying for a marriage green card and was just wondering how long I have before I have to enter the US once the green card is issued. I've read that a green card holder can be out of the states no longer than one consecutive year before forfeiting their status, would the same apply in my case since I would be living in Canada when issued a green card, i.e. I have one year to the enter the US?
Edit: not sure if this is the right forum, but my concern comes from how long I have to find employment, while still living in Canada, once issued the green card. I initially thought I could keep my current job and just work remote, in the US but I no longer see that as a viable option.
