Hi Everyone,

 

I am looking for an advice. I am a greencard holder, I have been with my Husband in Canada since September 2018. I also have a reentry permit valid until November 2020. My husband got document qualified last month at the NVC stage. The US embassy in Canada is closed due to the virus outbreak. 

 

My 3 expedite request were denied to speed up his application. Now he has a serious medical condition and I need to stay with him to look after him. I never applied for an expedite based on his medical condition, because it came after.

 

Here are my questions:

 

1- Can I wait 1 week before reentry permit expire or I have to go by the last day I left USA? total of 2 years

 

2- Should I apply for another expedite since his application will be at the embassy this time?

 

3- is it true the US embassy in Canada take a minimum of 6 months to schedule an interview?

 

4- This is an important question for me, What if I cross the border this August or September and return back same day to Canada to wait with my husband until his interview, would that be legal?

 

We have been waiting 4 years to settle, and I am really not looking to miss things up and get turned away by the border..Please help

 

Thank you

Hmm, I am sorry for your situation but I believe this question is more fo Canadavisa.com. if you cross the border to return to Canada same day, I believe you would be overstaying as your total days in Canada would be high (My thoughts, I'm not an expert). Is your husband Canadian? or a Canadian Permanent resident? If so - Have you explored seeking PR in Canada to be with him?

Thank you for your response... I am not worried about Canada, I have valid documents to come back... My husband is Canadian Citizen. .. my concern is about US.. we are planning to move to the US  and live there. The reason why I'm planning to cross and come back because once he gets his immigrant visa, I can cross the US border without any trouble of being away for 2 years. Even though i have a reentry permit valid until November 2020, but the last day i left the US was September 2018... so i might have to be in the US before that day
