ALSO MADE A POSTING IN CANADA FORUM LOCATED AT http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/253283-come-go-back-or-come-and-stay/

My parents got their visas and will be coming (from Canada) to USA next week. The question I have is that once they come (and go through their immigration at POE), can they stay here for about 3-4 weeks and then go back to Canada and 'wrap' up their personal stuff and then make the move for good?

Also, if they can come and stay for about 3-4 weeks and go back, how soon do they need to be back in USA before they jeopardise their visas/immigration?

Is this something they can do? Or do they have to come and stay at least for 6 months before they can go back to 'wrap' up their personal belongings and then move?

I am little bit confused and not sure what my parents should tell the immigration officers if they ask during their POE process.

I have tried to search for answers but could not find this one!

HELP!! :unsure:

My example: came with hubby to activate my visa in end of May. Left two weeks later with the stamped visa (no real green card for a while). Returned middle of December without any problems -- I was asked why I didn't have a GC with me but at that time USCIS was very behind on GC production and I never received it.

Once they have the gc, they can go back to their country back and forth, the gc is good for 10 years. I'm not sure but I think you can stay not less than a year to any other country but to be safe they need to get re entry permit if they plan to stay longer so their gc will not be jeopardize.
