Just a few questions. :)

So I am about half way through the Cr-1 Process. NVC just has to go over our sent in information before we can get routed to the embassy.

A month ago my husband entered the United states to see me. He only intended to stay for 2 weeks and that is what he told the officer. He had round trip plane tickets and a letter from his employer whom expected him back in two weeks for work as well.

Well two weeks went by fast and his passport is clearly stamped with the date "Feb 8th, 2015" which is exactly 6 months from his entry, As a Canadian citizen he is allowed 6 months in a year to be in the US unless told otherwise by an officer. So we changed his leaving flight to a day later, and then a week later, and then finally another week later and then yesterday he just didn't show up to the flight at all.

This is our thinking: he could stay here until after Christmas, which would be a little less than 5 months, and then we could both return to Canada together to await his interview. Then if his visa is granted, we can both drive back over the border to the US.

Here's our worries: He told the officer when he would be back and that his employer would be expecting him(which was true) but obviously if he stays he wont be able to keep his job. We are not worried about money, I make enough here to support him until we leave and he has a good amount in his bank account at home in Canada to support us until we go back to the US.

Is there any problem with this plan? Advice and opinions are much appreciated. Thank you so much.

~~moved to working and travelling during immigration from IR1/CR1 process and procedures as topic can cover a variety of visas and is not actually about the IR1 process but rather about visiting the USA during that time.~~

Plans change so yes, he can stay and visit. If he wants to burn that bridge with his employer, that's a choice he can make. The important thing is no matter where you are in the process, he needs to leave by the date on the passport. Keep in mind that it may take a few weeks (or longer) to get his passport back from the consulate (Montreal is a consulate not an embassy) so plan for that along with being able to move his things etc.
