Hello,

I entered on a K-1 visa (from Canada), got married, filed for adjustment of status, and received my Employment Authorization Card that serves as my I-512 Advance Parole. I have just received a job offer from a US company. The job would be based out of the US, but would require me to travel outside the US (to Canada) during the first few months of employment to work with a client there. Can anyone point me towards the legality of this and how it may effect my ability to re-enter the US? I would be required to fly out of the US for about two weeks at a time, returning for every other weekend. I phoned USCIS and they advised this should be fine, I am currently waiting to talk to the CBP about this as well.

Thanks,

Rob

As long as this isn't a situation that is going to go on for a year, it should be no issue. If its a permanent situation of spending more time out of the country than in it, you'll eventually have a problem with CBP

Thanks Caryh. The job offer I am considering has language that the travel to Canada would be for at most 6 months. I take it this should be helpful proof at the border?

If you only do it for 6 months, it shouldn't be too big an issue. And I would keep a copy of that letter with you when you travel.
