2 or 3 trips should be no problem. Especially since we will apply approximately 2 months (at a minimum) before heading overseas for the first time. I figure one trip (definitely not more than 2 cuz I would go broke!) for a month would probably be the reality.

That's kind of what I am thinking. I am going to talk to an immigration attorney, but I think this is the way to go. We can always say its a temporary assignment, which it will be until all our possessions arrive. If the IO has an issue with my wife and child coming to visit me, then he needs...

If a short trip is less than 6 months, it seems pretty easy due to the length of the process. We just delay all of our possessions leaving the US (furniture, clothes, and don't sell our cars), keep the house and mailing address, she stays and gets her biometrics (a month or two) done then...

Would a 'short trip' be defined as the period of time for which she could get one visitor visa? She is from the Philippines (but has a lot of family in Malaysia) and we will be transferring to either Malaysia or Indonesia. While traveling to either of these countries she can get a 1 month...

I assume that this does not preclude her from 'visiting' my location. She could come to my location for, say, one month or whatever she can get on a VISITOR visa and then return to the US for a period of time. Since no special visa was obtained (ie. multiple entry dependent visa), it would be...

Based on what I can find on 319(b), I am not sure my company would qualify. The company is Schlumberger, which is a publicly traded company but has no affiliation with the US gov't that I know of. Since just paying rent, taxes, utilities, ect may not sufficient, it may be best for my wife...

My wife was granted her GC (My daughter and I are US citizens) in 2007 and we have been living continuously in the US since Jan 1 2008. She has had her conditions removed and now meets the 3 year minimum to apply for her citizenship. I work for an international company in the oil industry...
