Hello,
I am a GC holder and need to stay abroad for 7 months for completing some educational course. Do I need to apply for re-entry permit for this stay ? My lawyer told me that "to be safe", I need to apply for re-entry permit. She also mentioned that even though the law says 1 yr stay abroad is ok, it all depends on the officer at the POE. She also mentioned that even if I don't apply for re-entry permit, then atleast visit the US once in between the 7 months.
Could you please share your experiences and thoughts ?
