Student in Canada Wants to vist GC spouse on B1/B2

[maple_dream]

Hello all,

I am a student in Canada on study permit. My husband lives in the US and is a Green Card holder.

I want to visit him during the coming summer break. What are my chances of getting the "visit visa", given that I am currently pursuing a degree in Canada, which I have no intent to abandon, and that my husband has not filed an immigration petition for me in the US? He will get his citizenship next year, and by that time I will also complete my degree in Canada. So the intention now is just a vist for 2-3 months.

What are my chances? Is any one aware of some one being in any such situation before?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I think you may well have a problem with getting a visa

As you say your spouce is a LPR the immigration people will suspect you of wanting to jump ship if you know what I mean. You must also prove ties to home country, residence, family etc.,


Are you Canadian? or from another country

Susan is correct. Because of your husband’s status, you are considered an intending immigrant. While it's not impossible for you to obtain a visa, it won't be easy.

Be upfront and honest and tell the consular officer of your intent.
