Hi all,

I posted in another area because I had questions about the ROC. But now I have questions about the I-131. My situation is different as it's not for work purposes that we would be traveling abroad, and it's a shorter time frame.

My husband will be applying for the ROC in January, but we were supposed to leave the country for one week for a wedding in May. He may or may not be approved by then, but I'm trying to figure out if it's necessary to even apply for the I-131 if you're leaving the country for a week, after you've applied for the ROC? I know once he applies he'd technically be in pending status however I've seen in several different discussions that once you apply for the ROC/I-175 you get a year extension on the original GC? Is that true? In that case are we still able to leave the country as usual or is the I-131 necessary?

I appreciate the help & input.

Kind Regards-

The I-131 is not needed. Should your husband need to return after the green card expires, he will need the NOA1 from the I-751 to return to the USA.
