Hello,
My husband and I are both Green Card holders temporarely residing
outside of the US (in Canada) with our two older kids, both born in the
US. We have been relocated in Canada for the last four year and are
planning to return to the US soon. We all have valid re-entry permits
or passports.
However, while temporarely living in Canada, we had a third child. As we
are planning to return to the US, we are finding out the hard way that
this child does not have a status in the US and that we cannot bring her
in easily.
So far, the only options we have are 1) apply for immigrant visa for her
and wait 3 to 4 years in Canada, or 2) go to the border and try asking
for advance parole for her to get in the US.
The first option won't work for us; too long. The second option does not
seem very workable either; I've never heard of someone getting advance
parole at the border.
We were strongly advised against simply taking her in with us without
saying anything at the border, because we would be committing fraud and
could loose our green cards.
Any workable suggestions? Thanks!
