hello community,

 

So I came to my country ( brazil)  for a short stay but when I got here and went to do my medical check ups I discovered a medical condition...

So I had to do 2 surgeries during this last months and about to do one more next month

I plan to go back to America in April that ll be almost 11 months since I left

I will bring proof that Im married to a US citizen, leasing with our name, 2019/2020 taxes, medical paperwork, etc

 

but I know immigration can still do something against me when I get back in the US border

so what are my rights?

can they take away my green card right away at the airport? Or I keep the green card and have to see a Judge??

or do i get deported?

 

i never commited any crime... really stayed in brazil due to my medical conditions

 

thanks

As a green card holder, you can be absent for up to a year without having needed a re-entry permit.  I don't think it will be an issue.....good luck.

CBP cannot take away or cancel your GC.. they can refer you to be seen at the immigration court and the judge makes the decision

They cannot....Only an immigration judge can take away status.

Doesn't mean they won't lie and say they can, just stand firm.
