Should I get a reentry permit?

Hi everybody,

I am not sure what to do. I have my conditional greencard since almost a year now. My husband and I will be going abroad for 6 months in October and I was wondering if I should apply for a reentry permit. I know I don't need it if I will be out for less than a year. But I think it could be safer if I had it when we come back. We are going abroad because my husband will be doing an internship in the Netherlands.

The problem with applying now for a reentry permit is that we were planning on going on a vacation in September, and I guess that's when I would have my biometrics appointment...

If I do apply, how long does it take to get the biometrics appointment? If we leave before it's approved, can someone else bring it to the Netherlands?

And if we don't apply, will the 6 months abroad stop "the clock" for naturalization (so I would loose the one year of residency accumulated)? If I were to come back in the middle of those 6 months for a week or two, would that make any difference for the naturalization process?

Also, what would happen if I work in the Netherlands? Will USCIS assume that I abandoned my residency here since I am working abroad?

Sorry if I'm not being very clear, I have a lot of questions but I don't know how to write them down... :wacko:

Thanks for your help!
