does uscis send mail to canada

Inky... I already visited Canada and explained my situation to CBP, and they do not have any problem with me entering Canada. Also, Canada immigration laws are not exactly the same as the U.S. For example, a Canadian permanent resident can live with their Canadian citizen spouse in any country, and still maintain their continuous residence because they are living with a Canadian. I wish it was the same with U.S. laws.

Bigdog... As I said above, our move to Canada is not permanent and we see ourselves living in the U.S. In the future.

So then how are you going to move to Canada? if your spouse is a USC and you are not Canadian? OR are you not telling the whole story. After what you just said it does not make sense. I know there is a difference when you are married to a Canadian citizen. You have never once said that YOU are a Canadian citizen.

You being a green card holder, you cannot live outside the United States for more than 6 months. Also think about when you will want to apply for citizenship. You want to show that you have been living in US. Really you moving to Canada is a bad idea.

What were your plans if you had to have an interview? What about if immigration would like to visit your home (they do that sometimes)? How were you going to prove your joint financials in US? I guess the question you have to ask yourself, do you want to live in the US or not?

Olive, nobody on here is going to say what you want to hear, You know what is right and what is wrong, the decision is yours.

As Inky said, lets have some more details, must be a well paid job if you do not intend working, i would have thought that both working would have meant more saved for a life in the USA????????

Inky, I am not a Canadian ... But I can travel to Canada with my green card.

At the moment, we decided that I would rent a room in the U.S. and reside part time in the US and part time in Canada, so I can maintain a US residence and still live with my husband. And if we are called for an interview, we will explain our situation and how we are forced to take that job in Canada. Believe it or not, my husband has a doctorate, and spent all last year sending applications everywhere with no luck at all. So, we have to take the job in Canada.

I am planning to file AR-11 change of address and list my US address (which I am planning to rent)... I am wondering if my husband has to put his address in Canada on form I-865 or he can also list my address in the US?

Thank you all for your replies.

You should really do what will benefit you and your husband financially and emotionally. The real answers here won't be what you want to hear. If you want to rent and live in Canada, by all means do that and just remember you have to be truthful on your application. meaning you can not put your husband on a change of address claiming he lives there when he clearly lives in a different country. USCIS may get by with a couple living in different states because of jobs but different countries will be pushing the envelope a bit far. Good luck.

Then how do you plan to just go live in Canada on a US green card? You would not be living legally in Canada that way. A US green card is for living in the USA, not for living in Canada. You need proper documents to be able to live in Canada. Your story makes no sense at all and sounds like a huge fast track to lose your Green Card and get in trouble but you seem to not care what so ever.

I agree, and what part of Canada are we talking about anyway? If it is a reasonable drive from america your husband could work in Canada and live in the U.S..... You are setting yourself up for a lot of trouble. My parents were driving over an hour via highway to work each day, I don't understand why your husband couldn't tough it out and drive 2-3 hours until he finds a job in the u.s. There is no way you are just going to apply for some sort of long term visa in Canada without uscis finding out (they share info....) and you aren't going to be able to just cross the border every week to "renew" like many of us do in Asia... Canada and America aren't Hong Kong and Mainland China or Korea and Japan! You need to seriously reconsider your plans.
