Hi friends,

I have some questions which I think are different from those generally asked here. I am unmarried duaghter of a US citizen currently studying in Canada (I am not Canadian) and my mother applied a petiotion for me 3 years ago but I have not been invited to the interview yet. I would like to know:

1- If I apply for Canadian immigration (not citizenship) would it have any effect on the process of getting US green card or not?

2- What does it mean by "per-country" limitation? By country they mean the country I was born or the one I currently live?

3- My mother had filled in the petitin for me when I was in my country, now if I change my address to Canada, does it affect the process of my file, or I should stay in the country where I was when she applied?

4- I am following up the Visa Bultin for the category I am in (first category in family based). From Sep. 2005 until now they are processing the files of April 2001! But for the date before Sep. 2005 they usualy process 1 months' files in 1 or 2 moths, what is going on with these temporal variations and is it logic?


Many thank for your answers,

Mehro
 
1. No.
2. By your country of birth.
3. I don't know. I think the interview could be in the country where you live now, I am not sure.
4. Those dates always varies, since the categories are by quotas. But yes is a long wait.

Good luck,
 
Thanks for the answers.

I read another thread posted here from someone who has been a canadian permanent resident and who applied for the GC. He has written that the in the interview the immigration officer of US told him that it is not possible to have two PR and he has to choose one of them (US or Canadian).

Here is the thread:

I am wondering if I apply for Canadian immigration and I obtain it before the GC interview date, that would cancle the GC case. However, I would like to stay in Canada and not to return to my country after finishing my studies which is for sure before the GC interview date.

Many thanks in advance,
 
Of course you can't be a permanent resident of two countries. The definition of permanent residency dictates that.

So when you get your green card, you would have to give up the other permanent residency. If at the interview you say you can't do that, the interviewer would probably deny your case since if u choose to retain your permanent residency in Canada, you would be asking for a green card and acknowledging that you're not going to live in the US at the same time.
 
Thanks for the answer. If it would be as you say and at the interview they ask me to give up Canadian permanent residency that would be fine. But I am worried to be rejected for an interview or denial of my GC case in the case of having permanenr residency of Canada.
