Hi, I’m wondering how lenient CBP is with trips that last more than 6 months. A bit of context: my mom and I came to the US last year, mom decided to go back to Canada and wait for my dad’s case to get approved (he got DS 5535). I made sure to apply for a reentry permit for my mom, but she hasn’t received it yet. She got her biometrics done before leaving the US 6 months ago.
Since then, my dad’s case got approved and my parents sold the house. They are planning to cross the border and I’m wondering if my mom should be fine given her ~ 7 month stay outside the US with a pending reentry permit? This would be her first ever entry to the US as a green card holder. My parents also plan to take all their boxes/shipping stuff across the border.
Any advice would be appreciated.
