Thanks for the honest advice. We have renewed REP once before and never lived abroad while having the PR. It seems 2-3 years max away, and being gainfully employed 1+ year before REP renewal, is the best approach. Best approach is to live and work here 4-5 years out of every 5 years. Or in short be...

In line with this, I have increased the “rent” that I pay my wife for our condo by around 20% this year, so that I can take a higher foreign housing exclusion when I file my US taxes for 2022.

The dilemma is she has a child with a Singaporean man born out of wedlock many years ago. She says the child was not conceived...

Just wanted to report back to this forum that our Pr app was approved after 1.5 years

First time poster, long time lurker here. Searched the forums but couldn't find anyone else with a similar story/background. Feel free to *** on this post if it doesn't belong, but here goes.

Have a drunk driving fine/arrest (no jail time) from the US 8 years ago that I declared and have declared on my past 3 successful EP applications (yes, I know, incredibly stupid, selfish and embarrassing, and still paying the price). So does anyone think this could be the main reason for the PR rej...
