I got my green card on August 1st, 2018 based on a spousal visa. My job in my home country requires a super long termination period  - so I couldn't terminate my job but was able to apply and get a sabbatical which I was planning to turn into a termination. Fast forward, I was planning to start working in the US as of March 2019 but now my husband has military orders abroad - close to where I come from and we found out about 2-3 weeks after I immigrated. This is totally unexpected and we weren't planning on any of that at all. I am grateful and yet feel it is a total rollercoaster. Thankfully, I hadn't send in my written termination yet.

 

My employer doesn't mind me staying but has slotted me in with little jobs now until March, given that I returning. Meaning, I am currently in the US for 5 weeks and then going home for 2-3 weeks on a conditional green card plus we had my sisters wedding and another family celebration. Once my husband and I move on military orders back to my home country, we are good in terms of residency as I am on his orders.

 

But how is USCIS or CBP seeing my frequent travel right now (between September 2018 until March 2019)? Am I asking for trouble? I really don't have other options- other than quitting my job regardless and then being unemployed. Once we file for ROC or naturalisation, will this cause a problem? By the time my husband and I are moving (pcs), the residency requirements are 100% met but I feel I am on really shaky grounds right now.

 

If you have any advice please share it with me. We have four kids and currently rely on two incomes to meet all the financial demands of them being in university and teenagers but I am really worried that we are creating an even bigger problem right now.

You already have a Green Card. As long as your time out of the country is not longer than 1 year per travel (and without Re-entry permit), you  should be fine
