funinfly Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hi, Current Status: GC Questions: 1)Do I need AP to stay more than 6 months in India to return into USA with out affecting my GC ? All this is to assist parents medical issue which requires extend stay in India, recently I was there for 5+ months but this time when I go better want to take AP and not jeopardize GC status with extended stay. I have read this in internet [ If you are a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), you may leave the U.S. multiple times and reenter, as long as you do not intend to stay outside the U.S. for 1 year or more. To apply for a re-entry permit, you must file an Application for a Travel Document (I-131) with the USCIS. ] Any help is much appreciated. Link to comment
pingpong Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 If the stay is longer than 6 months then it is advised to apply for re entry permit. You dont want to be denied entry if an officer at POE assumes that you have abandoned your GC. Its not a very expensive document to apply for. Link to comment
