Yes, of course.

Right we are very meticulous about never being out of status. They visit, for like 2-3 weeks at a time maybe once every 6-12 months. I was wondering more about the reverse. The fact that they have a pending immigrant visa application making them unable to visit in the short term because they have a very distant 'intent to immigrate'.

Complex question but here goes: I am a naturalized US Citizen originally born in India. I got my US Citizenship in 2016. My sibling and their spouse both born in India are now naturalized Canadian citizens. They can visit me because Canadian citizens are allowed to visit the US without visa. I am hoping to have them move closer to me some day and for that want to file a family fourth preference green card petition. For Indian born individuals this seems like it will take 20 years and that's ok. My question is: can they continue to visit me while this application waits in the queue for the PD to become current? Does visiting for short periods of time jeopardize the green card application?

oh ok. it was kinda confusing and i thought u needed 5 x 365 - 90 days at least as a PR before you can even apply. they have 1827 - 90 - 150 = 1587 days at least. (and all other criteria is met)

My green card was issued in June 2017. Currently within 90 days of 5 year anniversary of becoming an LPR. I have spent a total of 150 days over the last 5 years outside the country. This is broken into about 6 total trips, none of which have lasted more than 50 days. Do i file now or wait for 150 days? (asking for a friend)
