ArjunReddy9 Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 My mom got her green card. What is the rule regarding how long she can be way from U.S? Is it a year? Or does she have to be here in the U.S every 6 months in a calendar year? Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) The rule is that an LPR has to reside, live, in the US. Any travel abroad has to be temporary in nature. Travel abroad for over 6 months has a rebuttable assumption of abandoning the GC, it is for sure lost with a stay abroad of over a year. This is about duration, not calendar year. It is not and has never been enough to just travel to the US once or twice a year. Edited May 18, 2023 by JoeF Quote Link to comment
