travel outside US for extended period
I also have the same concern about extended travel outside the US.
Does anyone know what should be said to an immigration officer when a GC holder has been away for over a year (3 years in fact!) and is returning to the US? Your advise is deperately needed. thanks.

Miss Pink:
Coming to the US every 6months is NOT enough.
Take a look at all the posts about this and reentry permits on " Life after the GC"
KCPLim:
Even if you have already applied for a reentry permit, you can still apply again. However, it may raise some eyebrows and red flages for immigration officers.
Instead of getting a 2year permit, you could only get one year.
I feel concerned however because you said :
To me, you sound like "have the cake and eat it too" : you want the GC, but you plan on living overseas for several years ( using your own words ).
Don't fool yourself, immigration officers are not stupid.
