how likely being denied entry with reentry permit?

[robwoj]

Hey -

If sb has a reentry permit then it means generally that INS agreed that the reason for leaving the US is valid.

The person then takes this reentry permit and spends 60% of the time abroad and 40% in the US.

The person is careful to keep ties to the US by:
- Has a company in the US albeit small making about 100K per year.
- Has almost all savings in the US
- Has credit cards in the US
- Keeps in touch with friends - (spending 40% of the time forces you anyways).
- Has things like cell phone, car in the US
- Does not have a home because the person thinks the prices are overvalued at this point.
- Pays company taxes in the US
- Pays personal income taxes in the US and reports worldwide income in the US
- Has driver licence in the US

Ofcourse the person is no criminal etc.

Based on all of this - is it easy for INS officers to still deny entry based on abondonment (most of the time is still being spent abroad) with a valid reentry permit?

CBP/POE guys have certainly some other job of catching other violators than turning thier head towards this 'potentially law abiding ' , 'legally eligible' 'rightful' rentrant.
I think the above answeres your Q.

make sure you just dont tell them that u have everything mentioned below- but also have some proofs for the following.

at least the POE guy knows you are meticulate in details and ofcourse knowledgable - so would think twice before revoking ur greencard and facing you in the court

Method of keeping residence in US!

1..What if all the above list applies to me too BUT my US company [sole trader] makes very little per year because it is new. I do not make $100k, not even $10k yet per year ! Neither do I own a house just like this guy.

Does the situation change?

Are you still confident that I can keep GC ?

2.. What if the same situation as [1] but time spent in US=2 weeks every 6 months. Does that drastically change situation?

Questions 1 and 2 are seperate so please answer seperately.
