Hello there,
I will be a green card holder soon. I have been sponsored in F1 category by my mother who is an US citizen. My two brothers are US citizens as well. My father is a green card holder. I will be getting married soon right after I get a green card. I and my future wife are Canadian citizens. I understand when I file sponsorship application in F2A category for her it will take around 2 years and half to get her the green card. I don’t want to be separated from her during that time.
I am wondering if I could use Re-entry Permit in this case. Can I put down as a reason when applying for Re-entry Permit that I want to be with my wife during the process? What are the chances of getting it and what would be the best way to formulate it? I would be working in Canada in the meantime and would be travelling to US. frequently.
Additionally, once I am crossing a border should I tell border agent I work in Canada and am waiting for my wife’s papers to go through?
I am definitely moving to the states once she is getting her immigration visa. There is a finite date when we will be moving to the U.S. permanently and this is only a temporary situation.
I will have strong family ties to US.
Thank you very much for your help.
