Hello.
I'm a DV2014 winner that was issued an immigrant visa that expires on September 17. I was normally planning to move by then, but I failed to pass all my remaining university courses and will need to study for another year. Therefore I intend to make entry in early July and travel back out of US before September after receiving my green card, in order to complete my study.
This process will take about 10 months, so I won't be able to re-enter the US for good until July 2015. My question is: would this put my permanent resident status into danger? If so, are there any measures I can take to avoid problems?
I hope this is the right sub-forum for this question. Thank you all in advance.
Note: Re-entry permit is not an option for me, as it can take well over 2 months to be issued.
