OK Here’s what actually happened at JFK

 

We used the mpc when approaching the immigration line which saved us hours of queuing and put us literally right to the from of the line. 

The officer took my photo and fingerprints as usual then asked when was I last In US?

Said March 2020 left at start of Covid (wasnt gonna lie) I was politely taken to secondary but US Wife was forced to enter the country and wait other side of glass which upset her to be forced to go in alone.

 
Officer asked why been out for so long, said Covid for a year then Wife dealing with medical issues and then we sold a house to help coming here for good (all true and had docs to support) He asked if I’m staying now. Said yes, we just purchased house here yesterday and have documents supporting all this stuff in hand. Didn’t want to see then but just told me if gonna be out for over year get reentry permit, if less than a year will be no problem from now on, stamped my passport and let me through border! 
 

Thanks so, so much to everyone on here and the forum owners for the fantastic help and support. I don’t think I would have even thought about just coming and trying it without you all….

 

We are just on the plane waiting to get off at Las Vegas, Wife excited to see her family after 3 years 6 months away.

 

 

 

 

Welcome back. Please stay a bit longer and naturalize :)

Get on  a plane to the U.S.     Risky. You can be denied and they take your GC as well. I would not attend.   Legally you cannot be forced to file I-407. I would not do that.

You can try.    You have been gone more than 3 consecutive years. If your leave the U.S. before you naturalize or accumulate 3.5 consecutive years of physical presence, you elevate your risk of
