It has been two years since I got my green card. I need to go to Canada for two years for a job purpose starting this summer. I will apply for REP before I leave. I am just wondering if I can come back to US for a visit for every 6 months? At port of entry, how should I explain time for spending out of US each time? Do I have to tell them I applied for REP and have a temporary job abroad?
If so, am I eligible for applying for citizenship one year after I move back to US? The requirement for citizenship is that you have to live within US for 30 months out of 5 years and any abroad trip is not over 6 months. I am not sure if coming back to US every 6 months will help me maintain the continuous residence for citizenship.
Thanks in advance for your advices and opinions!
