My green card expires Oct next year and I will not be eligible for applying for citizenship becuase of being in and out of the country on work.
1. I read that I can apply for renewal only 6months earlier to expiration date? Is that correct
2. Do I have to be employed with same employer who issued my GC? I currently am with the same employer but cannot say about the next few months.
3. Is there a possibility of filing extension from abroad or do I have physically have to be present in the USA.
4. Also, if I am in the United States while filing my renewal - do they take back the green card while applying for renewal or only at the time of issuing the new card. If they do take it, how can I leave the country for a few days and re-enter back.
