Hi so she’s not concerned about keeping Canadian PR status and boyfriend is First Nations, she told me something about they are entitle to receive automatic greencard, I may have worded it wrong, I need to look into it. I have another question actually now, how does her status as permanent resident in Canada (she is is in reciept of student loan) affect her US permanent resident status, I think I read something last night about that being a problem. The fees for the University are low so we can help cover her. Should she need to change her status with the University once she crosses the border in the US. To US permanent resident? Thankyou in regards to the last paragraph that really helps ease the logistics of it all

Yes this is something I need to talk to her about; when you say a lot of kids stay to finish medical school, you mean abroad?

Thank you so much for clarifying! after the denial in 2019 I was devastated for years after and never expected reaffirmation, years of pain! Currently working 15 hours a day as a carer and it nice to get a bit of clarification after being out of the loop for so long thanks!

@manyfudge hi sorry the quoting boxes duplicated anyway… Hi there, thanks for info, I’m reading pages and pages of VJ, forgot about Reddit. so yes she has 2.5 years left of Uni in Calgary, we have to activate greencard/IV visa by December 31 2023, so I wanted to apply for a re-entry permit (if that’s possible) for her but she can’t stay for longer than a few in the US days from now through to December (actually I have to check this with her, maybe she said April ) as she has classes. She has a job up there and a boyfriend, I’m wondering the best way to tackle all this, as it would be quite disruptive having to fulfil a certain amount of months in US and a certain amount of months in Canada , with the boyfriend and all, if that makes sense! What are the rules to crossing border, going back to Canada where she is a permanent resident (UK citizen) coming back after 2–4 months to apply for REP, without losing her greencard.

I just don’t know what do to for the best I’m physically drained, I wonder if anyone else has had similar experience, that is entering and applying for re entry permit on second visit, only if to give enough time to sort out transfer of degree to the states

Thank you Mike I appreciate it

thanks Mike, just to confirm; so she can’t activate her greencard then comeback down to do the re-entry permit in January ? Considering we were denied in 2019, only then did she commence a degree after, I thought USCIS may consider this or How long is it taking to receive receipt of re-entry at this time do you know? This is when she can leave a go back to Canada on receipt? thanks for your help Mike, I’m working 15 hour days 6 days a week and I’m exhausted and stressed , we didn’t expect this reaffirmation of the previous denial

@Mike E Hi, so we were approved in august just gone and have until December 31st to move/activate, her classes finish early January! Then recommence later on in year 😯

Thanks so much for all info Mike, the problem we are facing the above is that she has got classes all through November and December, which is when we have until to activate our green cards. So my plan was to fly her again in January to do her re-entry permit, so she’ll be activating her green card in November (has to go back after three days for classes) and then I was going to fly her down in January as she can spend a couple of months to wait for the re-entry permit receipt? thanks again!

Hello please help , long story short, myself, my husband and my daughter are UK citizens, but emigrated to Canada in 2015. We myself and husband) moved back to the UK in 2021, but daughter stayed on in Canada and is halfway through a 4.5 year degree. In 2019, (before daughter started a degree) we were denied an EB3 Visa at consulate interview, but was reaffirmed, re-interviewed and approved August just gone. So myself and my husband need to fly from the UK to pick up our daughter in Calgary to activate our green cards as we have to have to enter the United States together My question is to save on flights, is it safe to cross the border on land (from Canada ie.Coutts) rather than flying into America. So would it be okay to drive across the border stay in America for a couple of days to bring our daughter back as she needs to complete the rest of her degree The other question I have is, would it then okay for me to return to the UK for three months to tie up loose ends? My husband will be in the United States and I will join him in three months? thank you for any help and anything I’ve missed!
