Hello! 

 

Noom arrived from Thailand last year (Oct 2016) on a K1 Visa and received his temporary green card in June of this year. Now I'm considering a job in Singapore. If we move to Singapore for my work, will it jeopardize Noom's chances for a permanent green card and citizenship? Thanks for any input.

Green card is for living in the US.

Staying outside of the US for too long will result in the green card being taken away.

I believe the green card holder has to apply for the reentry permit before leaving and that will allow them to stay outside of the US for 2 years MAX.

 

I think that time will NOT count towards the citizenship.

Yeap, Noom needs a re-entry permit. Also, read the following on continuous residence for LPR to qualify for N-400:

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.

If hes living outside the USA he has no chance to keep the g card. Consider the timing then surrender the G card while applying for a 10 year B 2 if there are plans to visit the USA.
