I heard that Lawful Permanent Residents who stay outside of the U.S. for 6 months or more at a time are risking losing their I-551 Green Card (Lawful Permanent Residence) to airport immigration officials when they try to re-enter America. However, if a loved one is very ill and needs help, sometimes there is no way to avoid being outside the U.S. for an extended period of time. One way to help prevent the loss of Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status due to an extended trip abroad is to apply for a special two year I-131 â€Re-Entry Permit†before leaving the U.S.

Thanks for your answers.The lawyer also asked me to give it a shot for the visitors visa and directly communicate with the consulate stating this question. Thx -P

Hi Belle, Thanks for your replies.I had a clarification on one of your statements "If your baby is born BEFORE the primary beneficiary (I assume, you) is a permanent resident, then your baby becomes derivative of your case, and you should file following to join AFTER your case is approved". Q1.So I can bring back the baby ONLY AFTER my case is apporved ? Q2.If the case stay the same as it is ,is it possible to get the baby a visitors visa ? Thanks in Advance Pankaj
