Hello Vj's,

My Daughter is a Permanent Resident, once she got her card she had to come back to Peru to finish her studies at University, my question is...CAN SHE STAY THERE FOR LESS THAN 1 YEAR AND COME BACK TO USA WITH ANY PROBLEM???...she left USA last Aug 22nd..or maybe she has to come back before 6 months, you know the economical situation is not good enough to buy plane tickets every 6 months. She will be finishing University next year Dec 2011..

Another question. can I file an RE-ENTRY PERMIT beening my daughter in Peru??? is that possible???

All answer will be really appreciated.

Well, From August 2010 to December of 2011 is longer than 1 year! Why not be safe and have her visit once during her 15 months of university (but after Jan 2011)?

Because this does nothing. The thing about the whole residency thing is, that she will have to prove that she is maintaining US residency still while she is abroad. It doesn't matter if she is gone a month or 8 months as long as she can prove she has maintained US residency during that time. The 6 months out of the country thing that people refer to is not any deadline. That just means after 6 months the burden of prove just switches.

Under 6 months the IO must prove that the person broke continuous residency and may or may not be revoked their GC (extreme cases). After 6 months, it's now the aplicant that now must prove to the IO that they did not break continous residency and did not unintentionally abandon their GC.

In a case of a student studying abroad while living at home with her parents or maintaining a US home/apt and still paying bills will be a lot easier to prove to the IO then someone that just leaves and has no ties to the US for their duration.

Coming back for a short visit just shows the IO that someone doesn't understand the process and is trying to cheat the system thinking it will all of a sudden reset everything. This is untrue and the IO's and USCIS know this tatic far too well.

And yes, after a year it's very likely abandonment of the GC issues will be a lot more likely even if someone did come back for a 'visit' every 6 months...

+1 to Warlord.

100% accurate assessment.

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.

I was just thinking that it's rather common for a college student to visit home at least once a year. Not to mention if she did come home for a visit it would be a good opportunity to apply for the re-entry permit which wold be playing by the rules.

If you stay out of the country for 6 months or less, you're good. Why would anyone want to misrepresent themselves and act like you are not interested in staying in the US. :whistle:

Some folks just always want to push the envelope.

No BOINGS! about it!

Keep it simple.
