Applying for green card while living in Canada

Post by Adam_kheil »

Hi,
I am working remotely for a USA company from Canada( I do go to the US once or twice in a month). I am on H1 and company is willing to do my greencard application, question is can I still live in Canada and work remotely during this process or will I have to be physically present in the USA? I will choose AOS at a consulate in Canada. Even if I move to USA I will still be working remotely from home. Please suggest what will be the best course of action. Thanks

You can't choose AOS and then process at a consulate. This is called CP (consular processing). You can do this from outside US, but the expecation is that you move to US after getting green card if not before.
nelsona non grata. Non pro. Please Search previous posts, no situation is unique as you might think. Happy Browsing :D
