Hi guys,

I hope you can help me with this.

About 2 weeks ago I got a notification from USCIS saying my case has sent back to them from the NVC. This is after I had already received my green card last September. I'm currently not in the US as I had to leave for a little bit, although my intent was always to go back within the 1 year period.

What should I do? Does this mean they will revoke my green card? What would be my options then? It's the permanent, 10 year one, we have been married for 3 years.

Thanks in advance for your help

6/5/2013 got married

11/14/2013 mailed I-130

11/19/2013 I-130 NOA1 (NSC)

12/20/2013 mailed I-129f (just in case)

12/27/2013 I-129f NOA1 (NSC)

1/2/2014 ARN changed on both I-130 and I-129f

1/7/2014 I-129f updated/touched?

11/10/2014 NOA2 FINALLY!!! (after 356 days & 4 service requests)

Hi!

The reason your case is being sent to NVC from from USCIS is because you are most likely now considered "abandoning your lawful permanent resident status." To keep one's green card they must keep their total time each year abroad to under 180 days and not have taken a trip abroad that isn't "temporary."

You really need to contact an immigration lawyer ASAP! As it looks like your on your way to losing your green card. Staying abroad for one year without filing for a reentry permit before 180 days is what got you into this situation.

Read this link I have provided which might help clarify why you are in the position you are in - http://lawandborder.com/risk-abandoning-green-card-abroad-6-months/

Again - seek help from an immigration lawyer - ASAP.

Hi!

Thank you so much for your response.

This makes a lot of sense but I got the notification that the case has been sent back for review before the 180 days were up (after less than 5 months). Is it possible it might be something else then?

Will I still be able to reenter the US while they are reviewing my case? I always thought that you had to come back within a year, not 180 days but I guess I was wrong :(

I will have my husband talk to an immigration lawyer though, thank you for your advice.
