Hello All,

I applied for Canadian immigration in the year 2000. At that time, I was not sure if I will be able to apply for US immigration. It took long time for me to get Canadian immigration approval and couple of months back, I and my wife received Canadian landing papers.

Later my company applied for US Green card and I (and my wife) am on I 485 pending approval staus. I have valid EAD and advance parole documents to travel.

My questions are:

1) Since I invested lot of time and money in Canadian immigration, I and my wife would like to land in Canada and complete the formalities and come back to US.

Is there any risk to my AOS/green card processing if we go to Canada on the Canadian immigrant/resident visa and return to US on Advance Parole.

2) While returning to US, if I am asked by US immigration why I went to Canada, is it OK to tell them that
"I have Canadian Residency and intend to keep this option open till my US green card processing is complete. I Will terminate my Canadian residency once my US green card processing is complete"

My intention is not to keep the Canadian immigration once my US Green card is approved. Appreciate your advice. I am planning to go to Canada soon and come back within 2-3 days.

Hi,
I think this query is out of the boundaries of our immigration expert as he only deals in Canadian immigration questions.

Some senior desis might be able to help, but you will be better of asking at some US immigration forum.

I dont think so you would run into any issues, First of all your US GC isnt stamped on your passport hence there isnt any question of anyone objecting why you visited Canada, The US Imm. checks for US visa/GC not for canadian and its not their concern that how many Visas'/gc you have on your passport

There is a rule for dual citizenship but not aware of any rule for Multiple GC'S
IMHO you should be just fine.
