Canadian PR visiting US (Please help)

[kishore30]

My niece who is holding Canadian Green Card (Landing Papers) visited US recently (Feb 15th, 2003). Since there is no visa requirement for visiting US she came to US by Bus. When she crossed the Boarder she did not get any stamping on her passport etc. I came to know that from March 17th 2003 Canadian Landed immigrants need a visa to visit US. Please help how this will effect on her visiting status? She doesn't have any status in US.

My questions are:



1. How long can she be able to stay in US?

2. When she goes back to Canada do the INS people give trouble because of she doesn't have any visa while she visited US?

3. We are planning to visit India and might stay for a while, can my niece(who is a Canadian PR) travel with us from US to India without going to Canada.

Thanks
Kishore

<Legally 90 days from the Date of Entry into the US>

2. When she goes back to Canada do the INS people give trouble because of she doesn't have any visa while she visited US?

<Usually there is no US Customs/INS inspection when entering Canada. Sometimes, there are posts setup to inspect people before they enter the Canada Border>

3. We are planning to visit India and might stay for a while, can my niece(who is a Canadian PR) travel with us from US to India without going to Canada.
<I don't forsee any problems, if your neice travelled to India without going to Canada>
