thx all

thx bsd058

This is a weird predicament. You were only in Canada to complete a project and now you both need to move back and you can't because your child cannot enter the US without a status. The child would not be a visitor because you intend to live in the US once your project is done. When do you plan on moving back to the US? 3 months, 6 months, 9 months? If you can wait 9 months, then your wife could apply for permanent residence for them. She would need to petition for your child.

If you can't I'll search and see what I can dig up. Keep looking, and try not to double post.

H ave you spoke to the US consular in Canada about your situation, and if you have what have they advised. I now remember you have posted this situation on VJ many months before and I thought you were advised to seek information from the US consular in Canada.

I did not contact US embassy.

We are staying for awhile in Egypt.

If we decided to apply for I-130 for the baby, will we send the documents to US embassy in Cairo or to USCIS?

But you were still in Canada when you started asking about this correct? So you'll have left Canada and now you are back in Egypt? As a LPR, you are aware that you cannot be outside of the US, longer than a year without a re-entry permit.

For the 130, it must be filed to USCIS. correct address for filing a 130 petition. Your wife will need a US income or a co-sponsor with US income for the child.

I enter US every 6 months.

I am in Egypt because of family reasons.

You can lose your own GC by using this method od entering every 6 months. The LPR is for living in the US, unless you have a valid reason for being out, than you should have obtained a re-entry permit that would have allowed you to be outside the Us for 2 years.

You are playing a losing game with this re-entry every 6 months, at some point the CPB will notice the pattern and denie you entry. A poster just posted today about their experience, and he was from Canada. Here is the post http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/407120-had-a-gc-a-few-years-ago-reapplying-questions/page__pid__5899389#entry5899389.

They kept going back and forth to try to maintain the GC.
