Whoever keeps telling green card holders this needs to calm down, take a deep breath, and read the rules. I keep seeing alarmist postings claiming that LPRs ‘must’ not stay out of the US for various made-up time limits: 90 days, 180 days, six months, etc. None of these are true. USCIS has not changed their guidelines in years. |

Permanent residents are free to travel outside the United States, and temporary or brief travel usually does not affect your permanent resident status. If it is determined, however, that you did not intend to make the United States your permanent home, you will be found to have abandoned your permanent resident status. A general guide used is whether you have been absent fr om the United States for more than a year. Abandonment may be found to occur in trips of less than a year wh ere it is believed you did not intend to make the United States your permanent residence. While brief trips abroad generally are not problematic, the officer may consider criteria such as whether your intention was to visit abroad only temporarily, whether you maintained U.S. family and community ties, maintained U.S employment, filed U.S. income taxes as a resident, or otherwise established your intention to return to the United States as your permanent home. Other factors that may be considered include whether you maintained a U.S. mailing address, kept U.S. bank accounts and a valid U.S. driver’s license, own property or run a business in the United States, or any other evidence that supports the temporary nature of your absence. |
Правильно ли я понял, что согласно этой информации, перманент резидент может отсутствовать и более 180 дней, при учете, если у него есть родственники в США, платил налоги, имеется постоянное место жительства, банковские счета, нахождение менее 180 дней будет влиять только на последующее получение гражданства?
