Hello,

I am ignorant about this, so gathering information.

1.After getting Green card, how many years to wait before applying for citizenship. Are years calendar years or from Gc? For a person getting Gc in Nov, if he stays out of country from Nov to May of next year, will May be considered as 5 months in that year?

2. After applying for citizenship, can I travel out of US or should wait till I get citizenship? How long does it take to get citizenship?

3. Less than 6 months travel per year, does it include number of days of all trips in that year?

Thanks for your time and answers

Please help if anyone has any idea about these issues

1.If I apply for a reentry permit, how much time it takes to get it? Should I wait till I get or I can leave US before getting it?

2. If I get renetry permit and stay outside US for around 1.5 years(to take care of family things), then how do I file tax return? As I would not be working in US what tax return should I file?

3. while staying outside US, as I dont own a house, so if I dont rent an apartment is it fine. As for that period I wont have a house and utilities in US. As I wont be in US for long period I dont want to rent a house.

Really confused , please help..

I have some doubt.

If the GC (plastic cards) is lost, how much time is required to get new cards? How to apply for new card and what documents are needed and fees?

Thanks

I have a strange issue. I got my GC recently, but before I got my plastic cards and approval I have travelled on a trip out of US. Now my spouse is holding my card and not ready to give me mine as we are having hard time in marriage and plan to file for divorce. We have filed for a GC jointly using my spouse employment. I have travelled using my AP.

Now what can I do, I am in my home country for a vacation, can my husband cancel my card? Can I enter US using my AP valid for 7 more months?

Please suggest.

Thanks
