Hoping someone could answer a question for us as VisaJourney has been a lifeline for us during this process so hopefully someone can help... My husband and I are retired and we have lived in Canada for many years. We are relocating to the US to be with my family. I am USC(petitioner) hubby is Canadian (beneficiary). Thankfully his immigration interview is finally in January, after that we will be purchasing a house in the US and selling our home in Canada but not until all is approved before proceeding. I have provided domicile in the US so hopefully that will be acceptable in his interview.
Our question is, does his green card get activated upon our first trip to the US, in which we will be starting the process of searching for a new home but not yet moving, or is it on our actual moving day when we leave Canada permanently, which will be within the 6 month expiry date on the green card. I imagine there will be a few trips to the US before we find a home. Also once his green card is activated do we still have the 6 month expiry date on it or do we lose that time after it gets activated and what happens then with going back and forth?. I hope I'm wording all of this correctly so that it makes sense. Any input would help..Thanks
