Re-entry to the US question

If you are traveling to your native country with your native passport book and then return to the U.S. on a green card, how does the government know the length of your trip and record this information for naturalization purpose?

I ask this question because when at a U.S. airport traveling out to a foreign nation, not a single U.S. Custom official looks for your status but only coming to the U.S.

I have an underage child I need to provide parental care in my native country. While I am petitioning my child, I probably have to wait for 3-5 years. I am also requesting a re-entry permit but that gives me 2 years. I’m thinking of staying in my native country for over 2 years, but do not want to lose my permanent status. What should I do?

Since I am purchasing a flight ticket on my native passport, how the airlines know that I’m a “permanent status” to give to DHS? The airlines do not know my A #.

Is your child in your native country? How did you get your PR (employment or family)? Why didn't you get PR for your child? If it was employment based, you should have been able to include your child as a derivative, if it was family based, how was that done? If you are married to a USC, your spouse can file for your child as an immediate relative. If it was though a different family relationship (ie sibling), then I can see why you couldn't get your child's at the same time.
 
If you try to go through loophole, you'll most probably end up in lying at some point in the future. Lying is the biggest no no when you deal with immigration matters.
 
My oldest daughter is a USC. She petitioned me to the U.S. I thought my youngest was able to tag along with me, but I learned that was not the case. If you guys do not have any other suggestion, then I guess I have to travel for 2 years and return to the U.S. and get another re-entry.
 
Sorry - I don't have any other suggestions. Unfortunately, with the "Immediate Relative" filing, there are no beneficiary derivatives that can tag along.
 
Why don't you apply for "Follow to join" application. If you apply within 1yr of entering USA, she would join you with with no waiting time.

Hope this will help
 
what is OP?

Also, I read this on USCIS website:

(For information on following-to-join benefits for children of lawful permanent residents, please see Petitioning Procedures: Bringing a Child to Live in the United States.)

If you fall into one of these categories, please submit the following information to the U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services:

Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition
A copy of the original application or petition that was used to apply for your immigrant status
A copy of the I-797, Notice of Action, for your original application or petition
A copy of your alien registration receipt card or I-551


Can this apply to me??
