    W2 is listed as an option because if you choose tax return rather than transcript, you need to attach the W2. W2 in itself is NOT enough.

    I wouldn’t worry about that lol. I’d put everything I own on it not happening. Plus they’ve already said they’d guarantee the right of EU citizens if the enter before the 29th of March

    Oh trust me I know...if I hadn't already exhausted this with him to death I wouldn't be asking here about this. It's apparently more important to him than I understood that he work in exactly this thing. He's had interviews for tangential industry roles where he at least has some core qualifications and after a few interviews with those (2 big on-site ones) that resulted in rejections, he feels he's exhausted these too and stands no chance. I search for jobs for him daily and have to admit we're kinda running out of companies. He's unwilling to go back to really basic stuff.

    This might be personal and I’m sorry in advance.
     
    If he’s never worked in the US in any job that’s going to definitely take a tole on him mentally. I understand the amount of work he must’ve put in to get his PhD, but sometimes you’ve gotta start at the bottom. If he’s never worked maybe you could steer him to try a lesser position for a while and see how he feels? Especially with all the complications of starting a new family. 
     
    I hope you work this all out

    You hear about couples that go through this process, start living together for a good amount of time and everything changes in their relationship. It would be especially difficult for someone coming to the US alone if you have no friend and family network there.

    thatguyuknow reacted to Thithologyqueen in No GP Summary   
    Hi. I wanted to update in case anyone is in a similar situation. My fiance had his medical exam yesterday with the GP summary up to 2004 and they accepted that no problem. They didn't ask to see his other medical records since then or question why he hadn't seen a UK GP since then. He did have issues where the nurse or admin didn't properly read his vaccinations report and said he needed Tetanus when he'd clearly already had it so he asked her to revise the report. Hopefully no issues when it arrives at the embassy.

    He has a PHD so I assume he can easily work out the consequences, I can understand his situation, BREXIT may make that one more complicated and he he is right at the beginning.
     
    He would basically relinquish his GC, I 407 and then if st some point you wanted to come back would start again.

    His tourism visa won’t happen while she’s there. Having USC children doesn’t entitle non-USC parents to stay in the US forever.

    thatguyuknow reacted to pyridine in Retention of green card when taking job abroad   
    I'm an American citizen and my husband is from Hungary. We were living together in Denmark for over 5 years and came to the US about a year ago since I had a job offer with relocation. We went through the laborious and expensive process of getting him the CR-1 visa (used direct consular filing with exceptional circumstances, so filing the I-130 was very fast) and he is a conditional green card holder now in the US.
     
    We both have PhDs and he has had a lot of trouble finding a job in our area. While there are probably other issues here with his ability to expand his job search to areas outside of his niche field successfully, and the job search was interrupted by having a baby, we've been here for 10 months and he still has nothing. He is depressed and has practically given up on finding a job here and has started applying to things worldwide in his niche area - these jobs are few and far between and scattered on distant parts of the globe.
     
    He is now in the early stages of interviewing for a position in Glasgow, Scotland. I'm not keen on following him (and frankly think this entire situation is terrible...I worked my ### off to get him over here) and I've barely been in my position for a year. But feel I may have to at some point, but these are all things to work out. My question is how likely it is to retain is LPR status? Should he apply for a reentry permit before he leaves? Is establishing residency in the UK disqualifying for LPR if anyone finds out? He obviously will need to establish residency there to have health care etc. But can he maintain dual residency in the US?
     
    There are two scenarios:
    1. I stay in the US with our daughter and he works abroad until he (hopefully) finds a position in the US again. In this case he will still be on our apartment lease, car title, will be maintaining his drivers license, everything.
    2. We follow him abroad, in which case most things in the US establishing ties will have to disappear (would a reentry permit still work for this case? I know this would make it easier to redo getting a CR-1 visa since we could do DCF again, but the cost of all the application fees and medical exam is far from negligible).
     
    Thanks for any guidance!
