Less than 12 months not be a problem for returning .. you will be asked about your trip and maybe warned about extended periods out.. over 12 months but under 2 years may result in being referred to an immigration judge on your return .. advisable not ti be away for 12 months or more ... any trip over 6 minutes resets your “ continuous presence “

snd pushes out your eligibility for naturalisation. 
note that working or other actions that belong to a person who is a “resident” of another country may trigger the question of whether you have actually abandoned your US residency. Be careful. 

Oooh! So I’m a GC holder since almost 4 years, if I stay out of the country for more than 6 months, it means that i won’t be eligible to file for citizenship until 3 years because I broke my continuous presence so it’s like I’m back to year 1?!  

Hi everybody! I’m a green card holder & I work from home. During the COVID-19, I barely go out, kinda scared to end up in a US hospital, can’t afford it... so I wanted to go in France to be with my family to at least make the best of it.  My question is does anyone of y’all ever went out of the USA for 6 months?  I’m not sure how long I will be gone but I can’t find the answer anywhere they do say more than 6 months per year can hurt you if you want citizenships but nobody knows if it’s 6 months in a row or 6 months total in a year.  I called USCIS the lady didn’t even know!  She said she THINKS it’s in a row but wasn’t sure. 
Let me know if you know something please!

thanks

Emily- Congratulations ! yes your GC-10 will arrive soon.  Did you apply for N-400?

Thanks!  I didn’t get the “your case been approved” status so I was surprised & couldn’t believe it. And No not yet. I didn’t want to slow down the process. 

Hi y’all!! Does it mean I got the green card? I’m so excited and been waiting for so long like y’all I can’t believe it?

Hello. I use an app called "USCIS APP" that lets me track and search 10/20/50 nearby cases. It is avail on the Google App store. I assume that Apple would have something similar.

Thanks! Just did it, I checked 30 cases before & after mine, 9 got “transfered & new office has jurisdiction” & 1 got approved. So it definitely moving for September filers, slowly but surely! I’m EAC17354

Traveling with stamp or extension letter it's absolutely safe, been here, done that. If uscis will invait you for interview when you are still in France it's okay, usually they send invitations 2-4 weeks before interview and you can come back. If they will approve your case when you are overseas, it's also okay, I saw bunch of similar stories here and everything was fine. Good luck! But hope we all will get our cards before Christmas:) oh and btw I would recommend to sign up for USPS informed delivery app, so you can exactly see what in your mailbox every day.

Thank you for your reply, Kinda feel better lol I didn’t even know about that app, will definitely download it!  

& yes hopefully we all get good news before Christmas! *Crossed fingers* 

Hi everybody!! I would like y’all opinions please! I know you can’t know for sure what’s going to happen but just wanted to know what y’all would do. I’m a September 2017 filers, still pending, last notification April 2018 “case received at my local office”, no interview, nothing...extension letter expired so I got an i551 stamp earlier this month.  Now I want to go to France to see my family all December, apparently people have no problem traveling with the stamp even tho it is kinda worry me, but I’m scared if for some reasons there’s a problem with my case while in France & they refuse to let me re-entry... do y’all know if it happened to someone already? Of course that’s the worse case but we never know. My neighbor will check my mailbox every 3 days so I might come back earlier if I got updates, but I don’t know if it’s possivle to be denied without warning. Would u leave for a month while your case pending? 

Thanks!

Nothing around my case yet. I checked WAC17345 +/- 50 nearby cases.

Hi! Where do you check?
