Hi all,
Here is my dilemma: I got my EB green card in April 2007 (I'm a physician, did my residency on H1B, then got a job which sponsored me for GC). Unfortunately, some unforseen family circumstances require me to leave the US and stay away for an extended period of time and I cannot predict how long it will be. So if I decide to give up my GC and leave the US and then decide to come back later on a H1B, provided I can find a job and an sponsoring employer, is this going to be a problem, given that I will have abandoned my PR status already? If I do get the H1B, will I be eligible to refile for employment-based green card once again?
Thank you very much in advance!
