Immigration Gurus,
History: applied for 485 in Jan 05 - EB3 from India and labor Sept 03
Also applied for Canadian PR as a backup and completed the process last month and mail the passports to Canadian consulate and got the immigrant stamp in the passport to land in Canada before 24th Nov, 2006.
NO H-1 VISA. I am on Advance Parole and EAD.
I have been hearing horrible experiences of lot of people who landing in Canada using AP and coming back to states had tough time explaining the US immigration officer that why they applied for Canada PR while 485 is pending. Someone entry was almost denied and cases of harassment etc...
I have decided not to land to Canada using AP BUT I STILL HAVE IMMIGRANT VISA STAMPING FROM CANADA IN MY PASSPORT which expires on 24th Nov, 2006.
IF I DO NOT LAND, WILL THAT CANADIAN IMMIGRANT STAMP IN MY PASSPORT WILL CAUSE ME PROBLEM BY THE US IMMIGRATION OFFICERS WHILE TRAVELING ABORAD OR DURING THE PROCESS OF GC STAMPING??
Even though I have not landed but that stamp is the only way the US officers will know that I have ever applied for Canadian PR too...
Please suggest, whether should I change my passport??
Also, am I doing the correct thing by not landing in Canada due to AP and not taking risk on 485??
Thank you,
Sunny
