Living Abroad with Green Card

[jimcas 0]

My wife has a green card. We had the 2 year condition removed and she was about 4 years into the 10 year when I was transfered out of the country. It was unexpected, so we had no chance to notify Immigration. We have been away over 2 years now but have traveled back to the US several times and she has not stayed away from the US for over 12 months at a time.

I am just wondering if there will be a problem maintaining the green card. We should be transfered back to the US in a year or so, but we don't want to start all over again.

For whom do you work? The US Military, the USG, an NGO, a military or government contractor? There are instances where your time overseas (and hers) would be considered as being resident or domiciled in the United States. If you don't fall into any of these categories, you might still present the specifics of your case if they indicate that they believe your wife abandoned her permanent residency. Just my thoughts.

From what you have stated, you are in danger of having your wife's green card revoked for abandoment of green card. She obviously isn't residing in the US, she is visiting

Good luck
