Help needed: Green card & re-entry permit

[didig1]

Hi,

I got a green card through the DV program. I came 1st in

Aug./12 to activate the card and then back in Jan. to pick up the

actual plastic card. both times I stayed +/-1 week (doing an MBA

abroad).

I am planning to come back before the 6 months since my last

departure thinking to be safe, but talking to a friends he said

they might take the card away from me.

Is this really the case? if they give me a hard time would it be

smart to show them some or all of the following:

- I was ready to leave the MBA & come contigent on finding a

job, I did not get the luck but I have the emails to prove it
-I've been in the US for 6 yrs. with an H1-B and then left (since I

was not able to get a green card). Stayed 3 yrs. out of the US.

still have the passport to prove it.
-I have bank accounts in the US
- i can prove I was doing an MBA abroad (student card,

scholarship award letter, etc)

or just call my lawyer and put them in touch?

if they ask me to surrender the card, do I have any options there,

call the lawyer, ask for...?

if nothing works, and they take the card away what happens?

You ll have a warning at least before green card is taken. next time you fly to the us, get a reentry permit and you ll be fine.
