Advance Parole, AOS, EAD, etc!

Here's a good one for ya...

My fiance's interview at the Hungarian embassy is July 24.

I am a USC, though I am scheduled to start grad school in Canada in September, 2007. We have been reading a lot and trying to figure out whether or not she will be able to come with me and work there while I study. We haven't found for sure, though most signs are pointing toward a resounding NO! So...

I have decided to ask my university to defer my enrollment until we sort all this out in the States (anyway, it is a huge relief to know that we can spend the first year or so of our marriage together in the US, working and getting settled before going back to school).

The university and all their beaurocratic greatness will most likely ask me to prove that I have extenuating circumstances warranting this deferment.

So I'm asking if anyone here knows how where on the Net I can find some official-ish documents saying that it is difficult, if not impossible, for my wife to accompany me to Calgary in September.

(I know that she could get Advance Parole while her AOS is pending, which would allow her to travel to Canada, but I don't think that would allow her to work there, which would be imperative. I also realize that I would be needed here in the States for at least one interview, at which we are both required...)

Thank you!

I could be wrong, but advance parole is for short term stays out of the country; not for moving to Canada to accompany you, find work, and live there while you attend grad. school. I am not sure on how long someone with a pending green card can stay out, but I am sure it will technically be viewed as she has abandoned her "visa."

Good luck,
