Dear Mr. Rajiv,

Myself and my wife are holding green card for the past 2 years. My son is born here having US passport. I've business in US and business in India. I'm getting the salary from my business in USA and filing tax ever year.

Since the business in India growing rapidly I've to spend more time in India every year.

I'll be mostly staying in India and visiting US twice a year for 1 to 3 months. My family will be visiting US once a year for 3 months.

If we travel like above can we be able to retain green card for the years to come.

Thank you!

regards,
Muruga
 
You may want to apply for a re-entry permit if you're going to be out of the country for that long. A re-entry permit will allow you to be out of the country for up to 2 years.

BCIS MIGHT assume that you have abandoned your residency in the US if you've been out of the country for more than 6 months without a re-entry permit. If you are out of the country for more than a year without a re-entry permit, then it is very likely that BCIS will revoke your green card.
