Hello!
My spouse, who got her green card a few years ago through marriage to me, and who got a 2-year re-entry permit when we moved to Europe about 2 years ago, is traveling back to the US with me for a visit. We will be entering the country a few days after her re-entry permit expired. We were planning on going much earlier, but COVID made that impossible.
I think technically CBP could be concerned about the expired re-entry permit and consider that she might have abandoned her long-term residency. Does anyone have recent experience with how travel is handled during COVID times? Are the rules a bit more relaxed?
More generally, we're thinking of just returning to the US every 6 months instead of trying to get another re-entry permit, and would love to hear if that has worked for others.
Thank you very much for your help!
