I was outside of the US for almost 2 years having reentry permit, then arrived in Oct 2010 (they let me in with RP), stayed in the US for a week and applied for a second RP while in the US, then left the country again. That application was denied because I didn't make it to fingerprinting. Then...

In 2008, I got my Green Card by winning the Green Card (Diversity) Lottery, then waited until 2011 to permanently move to the US. The main reason for the delay was that I had a decent job overseas and didn't want to give it up and face unemployment in the US during the recession. I'm trying to...

My situation is very similar, but I have always used the passport with the immigrant visa that I used when I first entered the US as a GC holder.

Does it mean that if i am registered on a flight via the US with a European passport, it's best to show it at the border with my GC or can I still show the Ukrainian one?

When you buy tickets leaving or connecting in the US, you are required to provide in advance your passport number, country of nationality, date of birth, and expiry date. You are not normally asked to provide your GC number. You only give the GC to the officer when you enter the country. I think...

I am flying from one Central American country to another via Atlanta. I have registered for the flight with my European passport. The connection is about 2.5 hours. Which passport should I show at in the US border? Can I show the Ukrainian one if I'm registered for the flight with the European...

No, i didn't get a second RP. I had been absent for less than 6 months after the previous visit. Didn't get any problems at the border.

Yep.

I am a GC holder, currently in the United States. I would like to go traveling to Central and South America for a few months (less than 6 in total). At the time I received my Green Card I was living and working in Western Europe as a citizen of Ukraine. The Green Card has Ukraine as my place of...

Yes it is!

I'm in the same situation. Missed my first biometrics appointment and applied for a second one. Sent the first appointment letter back with a note asking them to schedule the next one well in advance, now waiting for the second letter.

I am currently abroad. There is no valid reentry permit as I sent the current one with my application. If I enter the counrty for a couple of days just to get fingerprinted without a valid Reentry Permit the chances of getting hassled at the border will probably be about the same as if I enter...

I'll keep that in mind before posting new threads in the future. Thank you for your answer. I called USCIS and was told that it should still be possible to reschedule if I send a request. I should send their letter back with the appropriate box ticked and include a note explaining why I...

Thanks you sanjoseaug20 and vandeluca. This post is about a different subject and not identical to my other post, though there is some repetition to give background information. Here is another question I have. I read on my biometrics appointment letter that if i "fail to appear as scheduled...

I'm trying to recall what happened. I wasn't asked this question explicitly. It came up in the conversation so I probably volunteered this information. Yes, I know the rule about never volunteering information, but I reckoned they would know anyway from their data about my round trip ticket...

I am a US Permanent Resident and have been living in Europe since April 2008 due to personal circumstances. In September 2008, I came to the US to apply for a Reentry Permit, then came for fingerprinting in October 2008, then received my first Reentry Permit in November 2008. I was out of...

Just an update. I spent a week in the US in September. They did let me in, but I had to answer some rather difficult questions at the airport. The officer asked me how long I was away. I answered and showed my RP, then told the truth that was only coming for a week and was going to apply for a...

Thanks! What airport was it if you dont mind me asking? Di you actually show your expired RP when you came back in August? Did they at any point ask for your passport or did you just show RP and green card?

I'll have a valid RP for my September visit. By the time I move I will have quite my job so I won't be working.

The main reason is that I've been trying to find a job to move back to the US, but the job market hasn't recovered yet so it's difficult. That's why I chose to stay abroad for some time where I have a steady job. My opinion is that there has to be a balance between going too often and drawing...
