Hi,
I have a green card through employment (actually my old employer) and am considering leaving the country for family reasons (aging parents need help).
I am trying to apply for double citizenship to allow me to go back/forth without the hassle of coming back to the US every 6 months. My home country (Austria) does NOT allow for double citizenship by default, you have to apply and get approved on a case-by-case basis, so this may not work.
Applying for a re-entry permit is probably my next option if the double citizenship doesn't go through. However, the reason I need to go back is to help with aging parents, so I would rather have a more flexible timeline than a re-entry permit may allow.
I am married to a US Citizen and we have a child who is also US citizen. We we were married after I received my green card. Is it possible for me to give up my green card (which I received through work) now and then reapply for a green card through marriage when we come back to the US? If yes, would the new green card take approximately 3-6 months that is typical for getting a green card through marriage.
Any advice or other options/ideas is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
