Canada bill C-21 will close that loophole if it passes, however, and since they are moving on the bill again it may not be long before that happens. | |

| Jun 3, 2018 at 3:23 | comment | added | phoog | @Kyukiou I was using "you" in the impersonal sense. Feel free to substitute "one." Questions about applying for green cards belong on Expatriates. I'll post some references about immigrant intent for visitors in a little while. | |
| Jun 3, 2018 at 2:30 | comment | added | Wagalvladiyv | @Phoog, I would like to know where you got your information from, could you please cite a link, also this information is not for me, as I am a US Citizen, but it's for my girlfriend who lives in Canada. | |
| Jun 2, 2018 at 23:56 | comment | added | phoog | @Kyukiou the law specifies that an applicant to enter as a visitor must overcome a presumption of immigrant intent. Obviously, saying that you plan to spend 363 days a year in the US for the rest of your life isn't going to achieve that. If you apply for a green card, though, you will no longer be under the 6-month rule; one you apply, you can stay until your application is decided. The mechanics would depend a bit on the basis for your application. | |
| Jun 2, 2018 at 22:42 | comment | added | Wagalvladiyv | Hm. That's certainly some sketchy waters to walk in then. Is that information available anywhere on USCIS's website? Also on a side question; under Green cards it talks about how it's easier to apply for a greencard if the person is already living in the US, - Could that apply if the person is living in the US under the 6 month rule or would that not be enough time? | |
