Working outside US after GC to spend time with Wife!

[r2j4]

To All Immigration Gurus...:-)
I married after GC and Its been 3 years 4 months since my green card.

I've applied for my wife's I-130 and the best hope I have is to become a citizen and bring her to US.

I work for a global company which can place me on a project in England and I can make a trip to US every 3 months or so for a week.

What possible steps I can take to not to jeopardize my citizenship requirement.

1: Is there a waiver that INS gives for people on GC who work for global companies to work outside US?...with out jeopardizing their Continuous residency requirement.

1: Do I need to get a permission from INS before I commence work in England?. Like a Reentry Permit?.

2: Can I work for an year outside US with a trip to US every 3 months for a week.

3: Is it a good idea to keep an apartment in US?, Can I discontinue my car insurance?.

I greatly appreciate and welcome all your comments.

Thanks,
Rama.


PS:I still would be paid here in US in US $ (Direct deposted to the bank) and I intend to file my taxes.

With one small exception, no. If you choose not to reside in the US, you face the consequences.

If you wish to return, then yes.

Can I work for an year outside US with a trip to US every 3 months for a week.

Maybe, provided you maintain the aspects of residency, like a residence.

I applied for I-131 before I left the country. What if it's not approved in 6 months. After it's approved if I enter US then the already approved I-131 is no good?.

Please help..........
