How to file extension?

[Adi B 0]

Hey everyone, 

 

My parents, brother and I recently received our Green Cards. The issued date is Oct 2018 and they expire Oct 2028. My brother and I are students so we don't have to move till we are done our schooling . However, at the US/Canada border when our passports were temporarily getting stamped till our GC's came, the officer/agent said that my parents have to move by October of 2019. This is not possible for my parents as it is too rushed and the timing isn't perfect as we would have to quickly sell of everything we have in Canada. My parents want to move to NC but they need a bit longer than Oct 2019 to properly plan out everything before moving to the US. The agent mentioned an extension form but I cant find it online.

 

Could someone provide some steps or a link on how I can go about the situation for my parents? 

 

Thank you

if you are staying over a year you need the reentry permit, all of you do

 

but if everyone stays in Canada for over a year, who will be here to receive the GCs?

 

everyone needs to file the i131 and stay here until you get your fingerprints done, the reentry permit allows a GC holder to be out of the country from 1 to 2 years without loosing residency

Any of you will need I-131s if you will not be in the US for 1 year or more.  If you are coming and going for less than a year you don't need to get the I-131s.

 

As immigrants if you intend to Naturalize there are requirements as to the amount of time that can be spent out of the US. 

 

Why did they chose to immigrate at this time if they planned to stay in Canada?

We were sponsored by our relatives in the US around 2005. Our case opened up in 2016 and we were recently granted our GC's. Is I131 the correct form to deal with our situation?

Our GC's were delivered to our relatives house in America and we picked them up. We presently use them whenever we go to the US. They sponsored us around 2005 and around 2016/2017 our cases opened.
