re: thanks! i was not planning to provide any supporting documentation since the guide states to provide that only if the trips lasted more than 6 months outside the country. should i?

re: thanks. let me clarify. i have been back in the states after this temporary deputation. its been 18 months since that deputation ended. while i was in india, i was still paid by US, money deposited in US dollars and was employed by the same company that employs me currently in the same bank...

re: not sure if i am being clear. i have been a resident since 2006. in 2009, i was in india on business but made trips to the US since i was employed in the US. this lasted for 9 months but i wasnt out of US for more than 6 months on any trip. its just that i decided to not keep an...

hi. i was not out of the country for more than 6 months at any point of time. i was making several trips back to the US for business. this was just an internal deputation from my company

I am applying for my citizenship. I had applied for a re-entry permit and was in India for 9 months from Feb - November. during this time i had several trips back to the US (4) and was actually using my friends mailing address, but we were living in india. should i put that address in the form...

My parents are Indian citizens and have a valid US visa. They have been in the US before. I am planning to call them to US and their passport is expiring October 2011. They will be arriving next month and returning in July. As per the agent I am booking with, I was informed that their passport...

for the 5 years, i will have spent around 1200 days in the US. Yes, i have always been on US payroll and haven't had any overseas wages.

I am eligible to apply for citizenship in Mar 2011. Over the past 5 years, i have had around 13-14 trips for work outside US with the longest being 4 months. all others have been 2-3 weeks. These days i am traveling every week to Mexico, leaving every Monday coming back Thu. Is this going to be...

re: Thanks for confirming Jackolantern. I am being asked to take up employment with the indian branch of my US company. I see that also as a risk for my GC unless i can prove that the employment with the Indian branch is temporary and i will be offered us employmnt upon return. do you agree?

re: That is what i also thought but after reviewing some threads and talking to my lawyer, i understand that taking up employment outside US and working there, you can be asked to prove your ties back to the US. How do you justify working abroad for 2 years? The re-entry permit is not a...

re: bumping this thread, could someone please comment whether working abroad with a re-entry permit can be seen as severing ties with US?

re: I am a green card holder and have a re entry permit valid for 2 years from now.

re: Yes, I am concerned that if i take up employment with an Indian employer, it will probably be seen an me not not having intention to return and i could be questioned when i do return. Since i am going to be working in India, is that grounds for me having an intent not to return. Even...

re: with a re-entry permit if we are working in india, doesnt it count toward abandonment of residency?

I have a reentry permit and was working in India for my US employer. Now i am thinking of taking up employment with another Indian employer for 1-2 years and finally intend to return back to US. Since i have a reentry permit, can i assume that i can enter back assuming i continue to file taxes...

re: I am not so concerned about citizenship since i will eventually get it. What i am not looking forward to is returning after more than 6 months and being questioned for the validity of my GC. The lawyer did mention 6 months as for GC also, and my company lawyer said that it is 1 year. I am...

re: Based on my research it does seem like that 6 months is the timelimit that is more commonly used for REP. I had a couple of people mention it in the forums, the 1 year is mentioned clearly on the form but i am not sure is widely popular. The big question for me is - whether i am willing to...

re: The problem i have is that i am currently in India,i had left in Feb, so i would need to make a special trip back with family to get the REP done. Seems like that is the way to go if i want to avoid any hassles when i actually return back (in about 10 months)

re: My lawyer has been saying that it is 6 months, so i am a little confused. Even the form says 'apply for it only if you are going to be away for more than 1 year'. It would be nice to know if there are people who have been able to use GC to return for trips abroad for more than 6 months.

Has anyone stayed outside of the US for more than 6 months while on GC and returned back to US without having applied for a re-entry permit.
