Hello all,
Hopefully, somebody will be able to answer my questions on Re-entry Permits.
1) If one applies for a Re-entry Permit for two (2) years but decides to return back to the US within six months or one year, is that Re-entry Permit still effective and does it still work against your 2+2 year total that you can take on Re-entry Permit? What happens to that RP if one returns sooner?
2) Is the verdict still out on whether one "HAS" to get fingerprinted in the US after applying for a RP or one can schedule it overseas at one of the US embassies?
3) Lastly, should one continue to maintain bank accounts, file tax returns, and maintain other connections in the US during this 2 year period of absence?
Thank you all for your responses!
