Loren, Thanks for the response. I'll definitely look into the calculator for N400 application. I just wasn't clear if the re-entry permit was a sure thing, or there is a chance for denial. Good point on my wife and son paperwork, I presume the employer will take care of it, but it's another point to consider.

Hi, Had a question and hoping this forum can help me this situation. Bottom line, but see details below: exploring taking an expat job in Asia (not spouse's home country), and wondering how this affects the paperwork My wife (beneficiary) and I (USC) are under IR1/CR1. She already lives in the US with me and have applied to remove of conditional status. She was approved removal of conditions. Biometrics completed and waiting on interview. We've traveled briefly with the I-797. Technically, we can apply for N400 next February. I'm considering taking a job assignment abroad in Asia with a time limit (2yrs). Is this possible without negatively affecting her status and future N400 application? I've read that ahe can apply for a re-entry permit before leaving, knowing that she'll be outside of the US for more than 1 year. Additional details: - We are keeping are home and car - Would have proof that the assignment is only for 2 years, with the intention to return to the US Are there other avenues i should explore, and other issues i need to consider? Thanks in advance!
