hi Vjers!

Question: How long can you live out of the US and still be a resident? I am moving the Ivory Coast in May to be with my Fiance and I want to know how will I be able to show U.S. Domicile?

I will still have credit cards/bank accounts here in the US, student loans, etc. Also, my belongings will be with my sister.

Thanks!

I assume you have a 10-year Green Card, and your fiance lives in Africa?

If you maintain residency (an apartment, for example), you can be out of the US for a maximum of 2 years. From 1 year to 2 years you will need to get a reentry permit BEFORE you leave.

The problem is that you basically have to show that your absence from the US in only temporary, and that you plan before even leaving that you intend to come back and continue living in the US, hence the reentry permit.

Yes, you should continue filing income taxes and you should keep as many ties to the US during your absence as possible.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
