who would I call to try and get straight info on what to do, regarding my son (age 18) who is wanting to move back to Canada where he is a citizen and is here in USA on CR2 and I have just applied for removal on Condition and we got our Biometrics appt on July 18 2012, he is currently in Canada checking out universities and now has told me he wants to live there and has no plans on moving back to USA, so what would be his next step and would it affect my green card in anyway, being young and not thinking of future, not sure on what to do is there anyways to hold a 10 year GC and live in Canada and have benefits of a Canadian such as health care, education, jobs, paying Canadian taxes and so forth,

any help would be appreciated or a number on who I would call to ask

as I live in Texas, not sure where I could go to ask this info and get a real ANswer, I asked a Immigration lawayer who kinda gave me a shotty answer and said " oh no problem as long as he crosses border ever 6 months he dont need any special papers or permits or visa to go back to Canada and can still hold green card, so just let him go and cross back for day trips before 6 month deadline" THIS DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT OR THAT EASY

This is very stressful (almost as much as it was to get in USA) and confusing

thank you,

SMURFIN AWESOME!!!!

This has been asked before and I was in a similar position a couple yrs ago (although my daughter ended up living here)

If he is just going to be a student then his principal residence is still your home (and return on holidays and for summer) - whether he's going to school out of state or in Canada.

I see you're point that you want to keep his options open for him and if he can just make it another year he can apply for citizenship, right? And of course he isn't thinking of the future at all :)

I didn't want to lose all the $$$ and time and tears into the VISA process when my daughter was thinking of returning - is there any chance he can attend joniour college or university in Texas for a yr or 2?

What I don't believe he can do is claim to be a US resident (and thus have the GC) but then go back to Canada and claim the same thing in order to get provincial healthcare etc...

thank you your info has helped

my son is not thinking future, lol only turned 18 years old, how ever he has made his mind up and is planning on never coming back to LIVE in USA, but will visit, so now I am not sure what I need to do for him to stay in Canada as he is cuurently there and enrolling into university in Canada, and wants to work and activiate his SIn and MB healh card.

any suggestions on my next move

his biometrics appt is for july 18 and will not be here for it, I have sent a request to reschedule his appt, as I was not certain of his decision until just two days ago, when my parents sat down with him and told him all he would be tossing away, he claims Canada is his HOME, His heart belongs there.

so now I am staying here with my youngest son and we are both going to our biometrics appt july 18

Do you think this will cause a FLAG in my case that my oldest son dont show.

oh geez I really dont need and FLAGS

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

SMURFIN AWESOME!!!!
