OK, here's the thing, my husband might be given the opportunity to get a really good job through his company... in France (my home country), or Canada ![EEK!](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
What i'd like to know is what that would mean for ME. Right now, i'm about to send more documentation to the OKC office as bona fides of our marriage. Those documents were requested when we had our AOS interview in January. By the time we really know more about this job (a few weeks to a few months), i might be (let's hope) the conditionnal PR i've been waiting to be for so long...
SO, if we leave the country to live, let's say, in France for a few years, does it mean that i will lose my status (i guess i will, since if i don't apply for the removal of the conditional part of the permanent residency, i'll be kind of screwed, right?...) If we intend to come back in the US (and i'm almost sure we will), will we have to start everything all over again?
What if my husband ends up in Canada, what are my chances to get in there, as a French citizen who's not really a French anymore and not an american yet?
Well, as you can tell, i'm sort of confused. Any help would be appreciated.
