Study in Canada just after filing for US green card

[Saral_1987]

Hello, I am an L1-A visa holder in US, and my company recently filed for US Green Card (I-140) based out of Boston area. My objective is to work in Detroit and live in Windsor or other bordering town in Canada. I have been trying for Canadian Express Entry but since the cutoff scores are too high, I am looking at other ways to permanently live in Canada. Mainly exploring the study route , that is, my wife enrolling in a 2 or 3-year study in Canada followed by work permit. Further background: My company has OK'd my transfer to Detroit from Boston and they mention I can live in Windsor, work in Detroit with a commuter green card. (i-140 to be re-filed as it is linked to location). Question to the group: If my wife registers for such a study program in Canada (in Windsor to be precise), will it adversely affect my chances of getting a US commuter green card application? And will I be able to travel across the border on a daily basis and work in Detroit + live in Canada? This is a bit urgent so would HUGELY appreciate any advice you may have. Regards, Saral

I don't think so. Your visa application will be judge solely on your profile & not on your wife's profile - but you should ensure that you do not lie anything in US visa application.

And will I be able to travel across the border on a daily basis and work in Detroit + live in Canada?

I guess that should be fine once your papers are taken care.
