    GC holder working overseas

    Do I have to meet the 5 years requirements one more time?

    But they put this appendix in the adjudicator's manual for a reason. I'm obviously not a lawyer, but don't the government agencies have the job of interpreting the statues? They figured that the situation of a person who came for one day during the one-year absence shouldn't be different from...

    Applying for GC again but using OLD PD

    A copy of I-140 approval should be all you need. I'm not sure though if you can still use old PD if the I-140 is revoked.

    You could probably argue that the rentry permit allows you to reenter the country during its period of validity. But remember, there was a case of a guy who lost his green card even thought he attempted to return to the US with a valid permit. He was not able to demonstrate that he was...
