HI

Does someone know how many times and how long I could stay in Canada without having problems after I will have entered on my K-1 visa?

My mom is sick and I would need to go back and forth to Canada several times and probably stay a month there every times...

I'm expecting to go to help my parents for a while travelling 1 month in Canada and coming back for 1 month in Texas if it`s possible to do that???

If not I would have to find an other solution...

Thanks for your help!

Jo

You cannot stay in Canada longer than 6 months.... that can invalidate your PR status. 1 month is perfectly fine though, you can use your AP as much as you like. BE SURE not to leave the US without your AP though!!

You need to be sure that it doesn't make your status void. Yes it's good for a year but I don't think you can spend all your time in Canada during the next year basically.

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

Just a correction. You can be absent from the US for up to one year. Any longer than that will require a reentry permit. Any lengthy absences will impact the timeline on the naturalization process.

CBP FAQ - Can an LPR leave multiple times and return?
