Why not just get your GC?

Yes that is my current plan actually, after mulling things over since last night we've decided the safest plan of action for both the baby and the immigration is to leave now after finding a place to stay in Canada. We go to Canada now and hubby will drop us off and and settle us down and then fly back to ksa to finish his contract, have the baby there, and await for the green card. Get the green card and join husband in Atlanta. This seems to be the safest route for now....unless anyone has any other suggestions? We haven't purchased tickets yet will be doing so by tonight, so I'm open still any other advice!

You filed years ago, your visa number is current, you kept your petition alive, why not just get the GC?

GC= green card? Sorry my abbreviations aren't good I'm still new to forums..

Would I receive the GC upon landing?

Yes

When you enter on an Immigrant Visa, you get a stamp first and then they send you your GC.

You usually cannot be a Canadian LPR and US LPR at the same time. You state your husband has a "multi-entrance visa", do you mean a Canadian visa or US visa? It isn't clear.

If your husband obtained Canadian permanent residency after already having US permanent residency, it's possible that his US LPR status has been automatically abandoned.

A green card is for living in the US, not for use as a tourist visa to take a trip to the US every few months. Given your circumstances I would be concerned that he has abandoned his residency by (i) not living in the US, and (ii) being a Canadian LPR and US LPR at the same time.

It should go without saying that if your husband is deemed to have abandoned his residency then your application would automatically be denied.

Yes if everything is current and still live you should be able to get a interview and hopefully your visa pretty quick, leading to greencard upon entry to the US. That way you would not need to leave after the birth at all.

If you have an approved petition and your visa number is current, then people are asking, why aren't you continuing the US immigration to get your immigrant visa (which results in GC upon entry). You could be ready to move to the US as an immigrant in a few months. Is your husband ready to move back to the US in a few months?
