When I get my I-485 approved, do I have to have my passport stamped for the I-551 if I do not plan to leave the US until my plastic GC arrives? I have a Canadian PR visa in my passport on which I traveled to Canada for 5 days in Nov 2006 and it expired in Dec 2006. I never applied for Canadian PR card. For the past 13 years I have maintained a valid non-immigrant status in the US and I have spent all my time in the US except for several absences 2-4 weeks long, 2 years apart. I am now on an H1B with an EB3 I140 approved and waiting for my Jan 2006 PD to become current to file the I-485. If I have to get the I-551 stamp, will the authorities have a basis to suspect that I have abandoned my US PR status and deny my GC because they will be able to see my CAN PR visa even if I never established residence in Canada. Do I need to carry some proof that I have given up my intention to settle in Canada and if so what would constitute such proof?
If I pass this stage, will I run the risk of losing my GC status when I try to reenter the US for the same reasons as above?
