Those in the limelight have the scrutiny of others to deal with as they live in glass houses IMO. Some - me included - feel they have some say over how they should live their lives. However, IMO, I can't claim that they don't live in the real world because that is as real to them as it is my world to me. All IMO.

Has Vanessa said she'll will move to the US full-time or they will go back and forth to Montreal?  I guess Nick can run that grooming business from anywhere. He seems to love L.A., and I just don't see him leaving anytime soon.  JMO.

She said they are waiting for the right moment, before she could "buy her one way ticket".

She can go back and forth as a visitor for a total of 6 months in the USA broken up as she pleases, out of a 12 month period. Therefore she can't have a one way ticket just yet.

Viall confirmed settling in Southern California is their goal for now. "L.A., for the kind of foreseeable future, will be where we call home," he said.

Viall added that "it made the most sense for us to be in L.A.," despite Grimaldi's deep roots in Canada and close ties with her family and students there. "That might change down the road," he hinted, while Grimaldi shared that they're still "waiting for the right moment" to book her one-way ticket.

Thanks for the info, GA.  I'm really interested to see what happens with these two.

I am trying to understand what it means by "buying her one way ticket"...

Does it mean to buy the one way ticket to go back home, if she consumes her allowable stay in US, or if there is the need to go back home to Canada?

I guess, it could apply either way...

...or a one way ticket from Canada to US, and permanently staying in the States for good...

IMO 'book her one-way ticket' in this instance meant immigrating to US for the foreseeable future.

JMO.

Since she only has a maximum of 6 months total in a 12 month period, that she can remain in the USA as a visitor she has to return at some point.

She can use the 6 months visitor rule indefinitely, but she has to come back. It's not limited to months, its days. If she's in the USA for 40 days, comes back to Canada for whatever, 2 weeks, etc she still has 140 days left that she can use to be in the USA. She needs to come back at some point, back and forth. Once the 12 month period is over, she starts again with her 6 month rule.

Once she gets a work Visa, she would have to renew that every 3 yrs, however she does not need to come back to Canada, and her 6 month rule won't apply. She can visit her family anytime she wants without having to keep track of how many days she's been in the USA, hence a one way ticket. Right now it's not a one way ticket per se because she has to come back to Canada.

I wonder how much time she's already spent in the US since last summer, what with casting and filming and SHV's.

I forgot to add, SHV's in Toronto, equals less days in the USA. Plus filming in Finland doesn't count either.

Thanks for the clarifications...

I think Vanessa has a big chance of getting a working visa, she could get a contract for modelling or a hosting gig...I guess, her decisions wouldn't be final until the end of DWTS...her primary focus right now is to support Nick 100%!!...

And weeks in Bahamas, St. Thomas, and HTD

I'd say she's been in the US two months for filming, less filming in Finland plus any SHV's in the US, so lets say two months, since Sept when filming started. She has 4 more months to use until this coming September.

A couple of years ago, they introduced an exit and entry system at the border. So it's very important to keep a log of your coming's and going's because if you don't those people at the border will let you know, it's all computerized now.
