My husband is currently employed on a H1 visa and I am on a H4 visa. Our current visas(H1 and H4) are valid till January 2013. We are Candadian permanent residents who plan on ultimately applying for green cards and settling down in the US. I am a newbie in this arena and have a few questions that I tried searching answers for but couldn't find anything conclusive and would appreciate any answers
1) For various reasons can I stay back in the country for 4-6 months, while my husband goes back to Canada on the extended unpaid leave for the 4-6 months and comes back? Or if I leave with him now, can I come back after 6 months and stay here for 4-6 months? Are there any rules/regulations that prevent me from doing this. Please note that we live across the border in Canada and travel back/forth via car.
2) My hubby is planning on taking an extended unpaid leave from work( for personal and not health related reasons) and his employer is OK with that. This could be as short as 3 months and could be as long as a year. During this time we will be going back to Canada. Do you know if this will create any issues with immigration currently or in the future? How long can this leave exist?
3) If my husband ultimately comes back to a different job after this unpaid leave, will his chances of getting a visa for that new job be affected?
4) If he wants to take an extended leave do we need to leave the country? Can we take an extended leave and stay in the country? Will we be violating any rules/regulations if we do that?
5) Lets say we want to come back after 6 months, do we need to come back together?
6) If we are in Canada for the next 6 months, can we keep taking weekend trips to visit our families in US?
Would appreciate any information that anyone can provide on this.
Thanks,

Applicants for k-3 visas must apply at the US Consulate in the country where the marriage took place, or in their country of nationality. So, unless your marriage took place in canada, your husband will not be able to apply there for a K-3 visa.
Situations such as yours are complicated and very fact specific. You should consult with an experienced immigration attorney before taking any further action on your own.

Hello Friends :
I recd. an email from my attorney this evening stating that "We have mailed you the FOIA request for your and your spouse's signature."
This doesnt make any sense to me, as to what does FOIA mean to start with. So I emailed them back asking, what does it mean and is it something to do like RFE towards my AOS papers filed on 2nd July,2007 (no checks cashed yet, no info in system yet).
My Attorney replied back stating that - "We have filed for full copies of your petitions to be sent to us. The FOIA will allow us to obtain a copy to check the integrity of the filing for our records. Looks like, it will be several years before these I-485 petitions are actually reviewed by the Service unless we see a change in the law. ."
What does this all mean? I am so confused....
Pls. advise me. Thanks a lot

Got an RFE request on a I485 that I think is a huge problem.
I spent a year in the USA in 97-98 on J1 student exchange Visa.
I went back to Russia, and finished the last year of high school there.
Then in '99 I came back to the USA on an F1 visa, did a four year college. After that I have been continuously employed on H1b, filed for green card in 2007.
RFE is requesting information about Section 212 of Immigration and Nationality Act.
How big of a trouble am I in?
