  1. Yeah I know there isn't a need to apply for the B-2 I was just stating that because that seems to be what they stamp in my passport last time I went pre k-1 visa at immigration. Yeah I was thinking I 407 is probably the best way to do it earlier, rather than leave it till later. Saves me work at the border in the future afaik.
  2. Well I don't apply for B 2 visa, they just stamp B 2 in my passport since I am canadian and canadians can visit USA visa-free. 1. I lived in america through the pandemic and now we are traveling full time & so there's no point keeping my CGC alive if we don't intend on living there for the next few years. I can always re-apply in the future if we decide to move back. It also forces me to have to file US taxes while I am not a an active resident, because you know -- American Citizens & green card holders have to pay taxes regardless of where they live in the world. 2 & 3 shouldn't matter much IMO. Canada & USA are brothers which is why I can still visit for 6 months on a single entry visa-free.
  3. Hello, here is my "situation", First of all I am a citizen of Canada & my wife is American. I've had the conditional green card for 2 years through a K-1 visa. My wife & I are still happily together & been traveling full time for the past 5 months. We both "work" remotely, not for a company but for ourselves. We do not have a "business" so don't worry about that coming into the question I am leading to. I'll get to the point now. My conditional green card expired at the end of January, 2023. I have no intention on renewing it or getting the conditions changed to "LPR" (the 10 year GC). I know that as of right now I'm still on the hook for doing taxes as I've not surrendered my CGC. Anyway I'm planning to go back to the US for a few months (2-3 just for the summer) just to meet with family that we haven't seen for the past half year. Since we are traveling full time I don't have a "permanent residence" anywhere. Would it be advisable to just go to the nearest US embassy and formally give back the conditional GC? Then enter the US this coming summer with my Canadian passport & be given the normal B2 visa that I always used to get? If formally giving back the CGC does not matter, I may just give it back at the border when I arrive there. But I assume it could cause an issue if I leave it till that point. Thanks for reading
