我家成员属加拿大公民, 持H1B 和H4签证居住美国 (一孩子在加拿大上大学),移民申请排期临近,现准备递交I-485。请问在加拿大上学的孩子( 持H4签证) 如何申请移民身份调整?
可能有以下选择: 1) 所有家庭成员的I-485同时递交。
在外上学的孩子是否必须在递交申请时返回美国?
-Not need. All your plans here are doable.
2) 主要成员在美国递交I-485,在外上学的孩子同时在加拿大申请移民身份调整。
-This procedure is called immigration visa application outside US (in Canada in your case) using consulate processing. It is a good choice if your child will stay in Canada for a longer time. You just need to file I-824 for your child together with your I-485 filing, or file I-824 any time later after you file I-485.
3) 主要成员在美国先递交I-485,在外上学的孩子在暑假返回美国后再递交I-485。
请分析各种选择的利弊。哪种选择比较好?
-If your child will stay in Canada for a short period of time, choose 1) or 3), otherwise choose 2).
-Yes unless your I-485 is approved.
是否需要申请 Advance Parole Document 才能自由往返美国
-If he/she choose 1) or 3), he/she had better have AP in case your I-485 is approved before he/she returns to US
