Hi guys,

I got GC through employment, what should I write in I-131, part 1 #3: Class of admission, and what are the possible 'purpose of trip' I can write in part 4? I think I shouldn't write the real purpose which is to take care of my family business in India because that will show that I don't intend to stay in USA.

Also, does getting a re-entry permit automatically break the continous residency requirement for naturalization? or Can I still maintain it by visting US before every 6 months and staying here for couple of months between each trip?

thanks for help!

one more question

This is a good forum, why didn't I find it earlier? :(

I have one more question though. Well, I am not really interested in naturalization per se, but for some reasons I am eager to maintain my permanent residency. In this case, can I keep staying out of US on re-entry permits for 8-10 years, giving the same reason(taking care of old parents) each time I apply for a new permit? I will keep visiting US enough to not go over the '4 years out, out of past 5 years' limit, so that they have to give me a reentry permit with 2 years validation.

thanks again!
