Re Entry permit

[wilbert]

I am a conditional permanent resident (I married a US citizen, then unfortunately we divorced a couple of years later) presently visiting family and working for a few months in my home country (UK).

I intend to return to the US in January 03 and should have an interview to adjust status by February 03.

Recently I came across this statement at the INS website:

"Caution


Due to recent changes to U.S. immigration law, travel outside of the United States may have severe consequences for aliens who are in the process of adjusting their status, extending their nonimmigrant stay, or changing their nonimmigrant status. Upon return, these aliens may be found inadmissible, their applications may be denied, or both. It is important that the alien obtain the proper documentation before leaving the U.S."


I would like to know if any of the recent changes (which I was unaware of) in the US immigration law will affect my re-entry into the US?

I will only have been outside the US for 4 months. Having read the website it states that re-entry permits are required for periods over a year or more.

would appreciate any advice,

thanks,

Rob.
