Hi everyone.
I am a GC holder living overseas due to US citizen spouse's overseas employment with a US company. I did get a 2 year re-entry permit before moving out of the US, but it will expire in about 6 months. We will not be moving back to the US within 6 months. From my research, it looks like I have two options:
1. Apply for another re-entry permit while visiting in-laws this summer, and fly back to the US again for biometrics/try to get US embassy here to do biometics
2. Apply for a SB-1 returning resident visa here. (The US embassy in this country has no information on this visa, but I found info on other US embassy/consulate websites)
Any recommendation as to which option is better? (Maybe 'better' is too strong a word, let's say lesser of the two evil.)
FYI, I think I have a pretty strong case of intention to return to the US (overseas move due to US citizen spouse's employment; have been paying US taxes; have US bank accounts - salary actually paid into this account; have US credit cards; all in-laws in the US; kept up professional license requirements in the US)
Thank you!
