Dear All,
This post helped me a lot when I was in process of getting my GC, and I am sure I will get help this time as well.
Here is my situation.. I got my GC in 2001, and came to India for extended family vacation in early 2002 (March) with getting Return Permit. In May 2002, when I was planning to return to US around June/Aug I lost my younger brother in accident. The incident shaken me and my family to great extend. My parents went in depression and being the only son now, I decided to stay with them. I am married , and my wife was pregnant when this tragic event took place; this incident also affected my unborn child that time. My child was born in Sept 2002 with heart disease and major issues with her heart pumps - responsible for pumping blood In and Out. She had to undergo the open heart surgery to ensure that she doesnot succumb to this disease. She went through the surgery in March 2004, and was adviced to be away from any school and public places for a year or so. All this time, I struggled to bring my family out of this episode to live a normal life.
* My REP expried in 2004.
* I filled all my returns since then
* I dont have any investments maintained in the US
* I do have a credit card and Bank, which I continued to use
My questions are
* Do I need to apply for Returning Resident Visa? or I can travel with my GC and prove my intent at POE in US?
* How long it would take for me to get ( if at all I may get that) SB-1 from the day I apply at US Consulate?
* Once I get my SB-1, can I travel back to India for short trips?
* What next after SB-1?
* Finally, does anyone ( incl JoeF) that I may not get the opportunity to retain my GC?
Request your early response to my this post as I plan to visit to US to venture the opportunities with My Co's Head Office. I am confident that I would get a job in US without much difficulty and time.
JoeF, request your time on this post, and thank you for your attention.
