Hello everyone,
I need an expert opinion in keeping the green card valid. I spent my first six years in US. I took a break for one year and now I am back in the second spell. I am about to apply for the green card. With all the categories become current, I may get the green card in a year or around that time. But I like to go back to India and spend atleat two years with my old age parents. I know if I stay more than six months I may loose the green card. Also there is a provision that allow a GC holder to spend outside US upto two years by getting prior permission. But somewhere I read If both husband and wife got the green card then only one is allowed to spend the two years outside at a time. In this situation I have the following questions.
1. Is it good to apply GC for me and my wife?
2. Is it better to apply to GC for me alone, so that I would be allowed to spend two years outside US and after I come back here I can sponsor for my wife?
3. Is there any other better way to handle this situation?
Correct me if I am wrong and help me please.
