Your accountant was wrong. All income must be reported to IRS as a US Citizen or a LPR.
This is especially more important for a LPR to maintain your permanent residence.
See here especially the line where it says "You abandon permanent residence if you fail to file income tax returns while living outside of the United States for any period."
You are a U.S. resident for tax purposes beginning on the first day you are present in the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident. As a resident taxpayer you must report, for U.S. tax purposes, your worldwide income.

Boo Hoo
So you have been apart half as long and seen each other 3 times as much, have that drink and then slap yourself and realize that you are a lot luckier than most.
It is what we do to be with the ones we love, if you don't love him enough to do this maybe you should re-evaluate.

I'm afraid you can't just re-enter. You obviously abandoned your permanent resident status and now without qualifying for a new green card (through family, employment or diversity visa) you can't just re-enter. Fact that you had a green card 32 years ago unfortunately would not matter here much.

To my disappointment, I didn't know racism exists, until I came here.

It actually applies to people under the age of 30, who entered the US before their 16th birthday...

I don't understand why you are upset . You will receive an automatic 1 year extension of your 2 year card while you are waiting.

as much as i sympathize with you, i dont think its their fault you left without it.

I carry mine. It's tucked away in my wallet with my drivers' license, and as a result I've never lost it, thrown it in the wash etc.
Page 9 of this guide states that if you are an LPR aged 18 or over you must carry proof of your immigration status:

In an ideal world, a drivers' license should suffice as proof, but I guess that technically, a license only proves that you demonstrated your legal status at the time the license was issued. Not since.
I wouldn't want to run fowl of any cop or ICE agent that considered a drivers' license to be insufficient.

The only requirement is that USCIS receives the application package WITHIN 90 days of your 2 year GC anniversary. You do not have to file exactly 90 days before the expiration date.
If your GC expires on 9/2/2012, you can mail the application at ANY TIME within the 90 days preceeding 9/2/2012. Just make absolutely sure it will be RECEIVED by USCIS before 9/2/2012.
So why not wait until you return from Brazil in July? If your husband was to mail it on your behalf in early June, you COULD receive a biometrics appointment for a date in early July. If you are still in Brazil for the scheduled date, you'd have to reschedule. That should be straightforward - but don't always count on that with USCIS!
Waiting to file until you return to the U.S. in July would be much simpler.

How desperate are you to get back?
No cash, no-one to borrow from?
Hand yourself in to UK Border Agency, let them arrange a flight.

Noah, mate. I know you are naturally suspicious of intent, and I do understand where you are coming from - but we have explained to you before, that unpaid career breaks are quite easy to obtain for many, many UK workers - especially those in the financial and government sectors. Many companies actively encourage them. Please try and remember that in the future.
Union Jack = being away from work for months on end isn't necessarily suspicious.

How long is she planning to stay? If less than 90 days she doesn't need a visa.
If she plans to stay for more than 90 days she needs a B-2 tourist visa. To get it approved, she'll have to provide proof of ties to the UK and prove she has sufficient funds to pay for her trip. If denied, she most likely can no longer travel visa-free on the VWP, although it isn't a definite ESTA-denial.

as it seems the op has his answers from several knowledgeable members, this thread is now locked to prevent any additional judgmental posts.

Your K-1 visa was null and void the moment you used it to enter the US. The expiration date on the visa is just the amount of time you have to use it to enter, typically 6 months. You received an I-94 when you entered the US. It was good for 90 days, and that is what your status in the US is based upon, not the K-1 visa expiration date. Once the I-94 expires, you begin to accrue overstay. Filing for AOS puts in a period of authorized stay and the overstay clock count will stop at that point. You are just sort of in limbo at the moment while you wait for your EAD and green card. As the poster above stated, you can use your NOA from filing your AOS to show you have lawful presence in the US while you are waiting.

That's bullshit, I lived with a guy and slept in his bed and didn't have sex because I didn't want to.
My own parents were married legally for months and sleeping under the same roof and in the same bed and didn't consume the marriage because mom wanted to wait until after the religious ceremony.

This is the most hateful thing I have ever read on VJ. There are so many things wrong with this post. First of all, especially here, we should at least know enough to know that there are a lot of different cultures and beliefs in the world that we do not understand and should respect. Secondly, between any two people, sex should ALWAYS be consensual, no matter what either of them EXPECTS based on time and money invested or anything else. And lastly, Anyone posting here should expect at best to be taken at their word and given helpful advice. There is no point to this forum if we can only expect at best to be treated suspiciously and with criticism. Of course we can and should be compassionate and supportive. Didn't you ever face suspicion and need a place where you could find support? Shame on you Isamu.
OP, I am so sorry that your thread has gone this way. I do agree with other posters here that the best thing to do is get a good immigration lawyer, and while I can't suggest one, I know others have. Try searching old threads and I think you can find some good referrals. I think too many people have not read this thread very thoroughly, which can be annoying, and way too many people got up on the wrong side of the bed and just have a bad attitude today. Most of the time, people on VJ ARE compassionate and supportive, even in unique cases. I wish I could offer better advice. Please know that I wish you the best.

She didn't marry the rapist who petitioned for her, but someone else she met later on.

If you notice, just you posting her story here in a thread in an online immigration forum has led to scrutiny, disbelief, and turning on the victim. This is one of the reasons WHY rape is so under-reported.
I think you should just follow pushbrk's advice and find a really good immigration attorney.

No, Angelina did not marry the man that filed the I-129F ("Bob").
Angelina married Brad.
Pinoylover, there are still some who believe that you don't consummate the relationship until after being married, believe it or not. A bit surprising and old-fashioned I guess, but they are still around. So here's the thing...why would you want to use somebody on a K-1 visa to come to America, knowing full well (from the interview and questioning process in Beijing) that by not following through with the marriage it would jeopardize, no INVALIDATE, your legal status here in America? It would have been "smarter" to get married, get the green card, and then divorce/leave/separate, etc.
Angelina followed Bob to America, completely trusting him, with limited to no English language skills. If you were in her situation and forcibly raped, TWICE, who would you turn to? Better yet, who could you trust? I imagine that even for American women, born in the States, they would have a tough time finding someone to talk to/confide in or even report that it happened.

^ bob = bad; brad = good.

Just a heads up that this list is not up to date. For example, my country of origin (Belgium) changed its legislation regarding dual citizenship in 2007, this went into effect in 2008. But this change is not reflected in the above mentioned document. So please be sure to check for more recent updates about New Zealand as well.

I'm disappointed, I was expecting murder and mayhem, not trash convictions.

You provided the wrong answer and your continuing posts are probably just confusing the OP.
Best to quit.

LOL. Now you are seeing that she is deportable but unlikely to be deported because she will be given the opportunity to adjust if she finds herself in front of an immigration judge. Didn't I say that in my first post? What happen to your contention that she was not deportable?
