Hello all,
I would need your help with this as I can't find any info and I'm guessing there must be people who needed time to wrap things up.
We are getting our EB1 greencard soonish. I am planning on living in the US as soon as we get it, but my husband wants to stay in Canada for an extra 1.75 years to fulfill his Psychology license. He will come to the US vacationing often, every couple of months, but won't live in the US more than 2 months/year for the first 2 years.
Because of this he plans on applying for a re-entry permit (Form I-131) correctly: going to the US and to wait for the biometrics and all.
But our cross-border accountant said as he will be in Canada for more than 182 days/year, he will be a tax resident of Canada.
Does being a tax resident of Canada have an impact on the US greencard?
Also because of him, even if I live in the US full-time, I will likely also be a tax resident of Canada (ties). Does that have an impact on keeping my greencard too?
Are there treads about people needing an extra year or 2 to wrap things up? I can't find them.
Thank you so much for your help!
