Sorry meant to update, he's back home now in Canada and we checked the I-94, thankfully he didn't overstay it. Thank you again for the advice and information!

He 100% intended on going home but things happened and he ended up staying a month longer after 3 months. While adjusting sounds tempting, I'm way too much of a straight arrow and nervous nelly to go through that process. However, I will look into it. Thanks again for the advice!

Thanks everyone for the replies, it's been insightful 🥲 he will return home and we'll chill out with the visits.

To my understanding, an extension is not needed since Canadians are allowed to stay for 6 months upon entry: https://ca.usembassy.gov/canadians-requiring-visas/

Hi all, Apologies if this is the wrong category for this question but I'm married to a Canadian and we applied for the CR-1 on August 2024. Since then, he's come to visit and has been here since November 2024 (132 days ago today). He was supposed to go home in January but decided to extend his trip until April since he's allowed to be here for 182 days. As for finances, he freelances when he's home in Canada (not doing work in USA don't worry :-) he has savings and I make enough to support us both). We would like for him to stay until May since that's the final 6 months that's allowed. My question is, will this impact our CR-1 application if he stays for this long? As per the new executive order, we did register here: https://www.uscis.gov/alienregistration but since he's Canadian he's supposedly exempt from fingerprinting but at least has to make an account and register. Thanks for any advice!

Wasn't able to find a topic for August 2024 filers so here we are 🙂 Filed on August 1st, 2024!
