I am married to a US Citizen and my Conditional GC expire in end of July 2011, I am also approved a Re enter permit, who also expire the same day like my GC.

We are living overseas (third country) because of my husband’s work (not government worker or military). We visit US 1 time a year and we plan to move back to US 2012/2013.

Now the removal conditions are big issues for me. What kind of options do I have?

It’s this alternative or not for me?

1. Go back to US and apply for the removal conditions and do my biomedical appointment in US. Or

2. Can I apply for returning resident SB1 at the US consulate there we stay, now? Do I qualify for that?

3. Can that be a better alternative to voluntary give up my GC and later apply for DCF? (fast, and cheaper than go back to USA for a biomedical appointment)

I am Scandinavian and wish to ttravel to meet my parents in law in end of the year for 2 weeks, can I use ESTA (tourist visa) without any problem, if I voluntary give up my GC?

Im thankful for all help!

Regards Kate

I would suggest you try to ROC - then apply for a 2 yr re-entry permit (which should take you through 2013).

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

I can answer one question of yours. It is possible to apply for ROC from abroad, but you must travel to the US to comply with all interviews (biometrics and interview if you have one). As to the others, not sure. Good luck!

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package
2/06/13: APPROVED!
