Hi all,

Married a great gal from NJ and I've had my green card for two years now with no more restrictions. I may have a lead on a job in Ontario but I will still be living in the US with my wife. Is this possible without having any issues with maintaining my green card?

Just want to add that my plan is to commute everyday from Rochester, NY...so my house and most of my time will still be in the US but work will be in Canada. Is it possible?

You can work on a space ship or a submarine, as long as you reside in the United States of America. There is no law how long your commute to work can be or how many times you are allowed to sleep outside your own bed. In fact, when becoming a US citizen, they only ask about absences from the US for 24 hours or longer.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

This implies that you've been a LPR for 4 years, why not just naturalize and not have to worry about time outside of the US?

FWIW, working across the border is common going both ways and doesn't present an issue to your residency.
