We have received our IV valid till March 2025. My daughter is currently in Grade 11 in Ontario, Canada and are confused what to do. She completes her Grade 12 in June 2026 and we are preferring to shift with her to US in July 2026 when she completes her high school in Canada so she has continuity in her high school. We are planning to do 1-2 weekend trips every month to Buffalo, US during this period so there is no long absence away from US. As US CBP raises concern for extended stay outside US for LPR, will applying for re-entry permit be best in my situation? What are the key considerations I need to take while applying for re-entry permit? Thanks

Hi ACC24, I am exactly in same situation as yours. My daughter is also in Grade 11 now in Canada and we have received our US IV which is valid till Mar 2025. She completes her Grade 12 in June 2026 and we are planning to either shift with her to US in June 2025 to start Grade 12 - Sr High School in US or 1 parent stays in Canada till June 2026 and other parent moves to US. I have heard US CBP raises concern for extended stay outside US for LPR. How did you navigate through this process and what is your feedback for best course of action here? Really appreciate any insights that you can help with. Regards
