would it help if one of you lived in Detroit, the other in Windsor ?

re: TN-1 visa - why did you give it up ?

Because I don't think my profession falls under NAFTA,, plus I can't find an employer in the US to sponsor me!

We thought about this, but it might be difficult because I am not sure if it's legal for me to cross everyday to see my wife in Detroit!!! How did you know I am in Windsor lol?

Well, you could say it's the SuperSpecial Uncle Darnell Clairvoyance,

or

I do some business in Detroit and love to get away to Windsor, via boat.

There's a pass thingie, NEXIS? NEXUS ? lots of boarder people have them.

lollll not sure what you meant by that, but that was smart:)!

I might be able to cross with NEXUS, but I am not sure if I am ready financially to pay for 2 houses!. Do you think Advance Parole is a good option?

I am not sure if they would let her in Canada when they find out her husband (me) is Canadian Citizen! I know US has restriction when it comes to visiting US while petitioning in process.

Even if they let her cross to Canada, I know she can only stay here legally for 6 months. Please correct me if I am wrong!

There are zero restrictions on either side. It's a judgement call of the officer st point of entry. Why you're proposing isn't visiting but living.

Hello everyone,

Thanks so much for the advise you have given me in the past, I would have be in trouble if I decided to overstay in the US!

1-I moved back to Canada before the 6 months was over.

2-My wife is still waiting for her Green card to be processed, according to USCIS processing time, she should had have it by now, but there is an unexpected delay of 2 months with her papers!

3- I read online I can apply for Advanced Parole while she is adjusting status, should I apply for advanced parole and bring her to Canada to live with me until they processed her Green Card or is it better to wait until she gets her Green Card? She can visit you in Canada. She can not live in Canada without giving up her green card.

4- Lets say she got her Green card before she moves to Canada, should I still apply for Advanced Parole so she can stay outside US for 2 years or less, or is it better for her to travel to US every 6 months? The purpose of a green card is to live in the US, not visit the US every 6 months. That is a great way to abuse the green card.

5- I gave up on TN1 Visa

We are lost now between Canada and US, she is having difficulty living by her self and away from me. I can easily bring her to Canada and sponsor her here, but we are looking to move to US at the end and start our life there.

Your help is highly appreciated!

Regards,

Tony

Hi,

You are still not getting it. A green card is to live in the US, not live in Canada with visits to the US every 6 months. What is your wife going to do for the I-864 for you? How is she going to meet that requirement to bring you to the US without earnings in the US?

You can not have your cake and eat it too. You are going to have to make some choices.

Best of luck.
