my girlfriend immigrated to the U.S leagaly, she got her GC, and we inted to marry. So my question How long can she stay outside of the us? Can she stay here for 5 months, go back for 1 month in U.S., and then back here for another 5?
 
help again

so her family is in the u.s., so they can pay taxes for her right? she can get a re-entry permit for how long max? because we get married and she wants to live with me for the time the papers for me are done? with the re-entry permit how long can she stay here?
 
If she is a GC holder, then it is 4-6 years before you will get your GC. You wait can shorten if she becomes a US citizen. However if she spends a lot of time outside the US, her naturalisation process will be tough and may not be successful. Worst case, she is deemed to have abandoned her LPR status. Is it worth it? She needs to talk to a lawyer with regards to her keeping her LPR status intact while she waits outside the US. It is doable, but certainly not easy.
 
hi again

so the process for citizens will start when we both are living in us. Can u tell me if she does like i said if she is going to lose her GC? if she does, the can u explain me about re-entry permit? If she explained that we will get married when she is here, and would like to live with me because we are 21 to young to get separated, and we both intend to live in the us (her parents pay taxes for her) will she get the re-entry permit approved? please i'm very worried, and thanks for your time
 
Yes she risks losing her GC. I am not to sure what you mean by "her parents pay taxes for her". Bottom line is, if she leaves the US for prolonged periods and that too frequently, she risks losing her LPR status.
 
ok so let me ask this way: what does she need to do to get a re-entry permit? and how long does it take to get the permit? thanks for ur time,sorry to bother
