On most times at usc interveiw the officer will ask about your marriage,,,,makeing sure everything is rosey ect, living together, paying bills, joint taxes blah blah, blah.

Not a good idea at this time for you....

Best thing is kiss and make up...work things out (maybe)...or wait until your 5 yrs is up from becoming a P.R then you don't need show joint filed taxes as your application be based on 5yrs and not 3yrs..

If you leave the country for " more than 6 mths" this will effect you if in the future if you want to become a usc. as the pysical presence comes into play.

leave the usa and stay more than 12 mths there is a very good chance you will loose your P.R card ...Unless you file a re-entry permit which will cover you for upto 2 yrs outside the usa....

But note... even tho the re-entry permit protects you....the P.O.E still could refuse you entry even with a re-entry permit in hands....this will depend on the immigration officer at P.O.E and other things such as did you abandon your P.R in maybe not having a us home, bank accounts, blah blah blah...so best you have all your ducks in a row...

No point of coming back if your staying in a hotel room on your next visit, no job ect....can you see my point?

As a LPR you cannot just move and reside in another country like you are suggesting for even under 6 months. The 6 month thing is just a very loose basis for people that go on extended trips and is still up the the IO to determine eligibility and LPR status. If you move and pack up and just live outside the US and get a non-US job you will be considered abandoning your Green Card. You would have to prove to the IO that you are still maintaining US residency. So don't ever go on "living outside the US for under 6 months", it is more like "Do not go on extended vacations for more then 6 months AND do NOT live outside the US period for any length of time without the proper forms and ties (as in working for a US company and being stationed over seas or the military etc)...

I'm just a wanderer in the desert winds...

Warlord...you make a very valid points in your post & i agree with you 100%:thumbs:

So the advice should be .... Don't use your P.R card as some kind of tourist visa, as your running a risk to give them a excuse, of that you have abandoned your p.r status.

It makes no differance how long you stayed outside....cas if you can not prove that you maintained your p.r status such as ..have a home..filed taxes...blah blah blah.

Just be carefull..thats all..,,make sure you have all your ducks in a row before you dig yourself a hole.. :thumbs:
