Hi
I got my GC approved in April-2008. Due to some personal circumstances I plan to leave US for good in next 1 year. That means I will be in US physically for 30-32 months by Feb-March next year.I was on vacation for 1 month last year.
I understand that the rule says one has to be in the country 30 months physically, which means one can keep coming to the country every 6 months for few days in other 30 months. This way that person becomes eligible for citizenship after 5 years (60 months), I know folks who are doing it but haven’t applied for citizenship yet. So not sure about the whole thing
Has anyone done this or can anyone confirm this rule? We all have earned our GC’s thru lot of hardships. All these efforts will go waste if we loose this privilege.
I would appreciate any inputs.
Thanks
