Because my bank accounts, my drivers license, my phone number are all in the states. I haven’t changed any of that. My primary address is still in the states. I also file state taxes. So my domicile is the US. Having PR in Canada is temporary. Travel.State website explains domicile very well.

Thank you so much for your response. Is it still ok if we’re just going there to ‘activate’ the green card. Not actually moving that day? We will eventually look for jobs and then move in a few months? What do you suggest we say to the border agents when they ask?

Is it an issue if the spouse is in Canada with them when they cross the border? Because my husband just got his IR-1 and we both plan on going down together. During his visa interview, it was established that I’m up here living and working and have a Canadian PR. So I don’t see why it should be a problem at the border. Please help. Thanks.

My husband was approved for his IR-1 visa a few weeks ago, and we’re planning to drive down to the border to get the ball rolling with the Green Card. I live in Canada with him as a PR holder. I was wondering if it would be an issue at the POE to cross the border with the visa but not intending to move yet? We will be leaving in less than 4 months permanently from Canada for sure. We’re gonna start looking for jobs, and then pack up and tie a hitch to our car and move to the US. But has anyone done this before? Drive to the border without intending to move at that time? Were there any issues? Thanks so much in advance!
