  • Are you in the United States on a green card and you’re considering traveling abroad? Check out this video to find out what it means to have a green card and what you have to do in order to come back to the U.S. when you’re done traveling.
    Hey everybody, my name is Barry Zlotowicz. Welcome to the LawFull Channel. On this channel. Today I’m here with immigration attorney Alen Takhsh to talk about traveling while you’re here on a green card. To learn more about Alen, check out his website at www.takhshlaw.....
    First Alen tells us what it means to have a green card. It means that you are a legal permanent resident of the United States.
    There are two types of green cards, one is a conditional green card and the other is a permanent or non-conditional green card. The conditional green card means that you can stay in the United States for two years. The permanent green card is good for ten years.
    So if you’re in the United States on a green card and you want to travel outside the United States, there are rules that you have to follow especially if you’re going to spend more than 6 months outside the country.
    If you spend five months and 29 days abroad, then, generally speaking, you can return to the U.S. without having jeopardized your LPR status. However, if you spend anywhere from six months and one day up to 11 months and 29 days abroad, then that raises a rebuttable presumption that you have abandoned your legal permanent residence. In other words, the government will presume that you no longer wish to be a Green Card holder. However, that presumption is rebuttable, meaning you can present evidence to show that you never intended to abandon your permanent residency.
    Now if you spend even a single day over 12 months abroad, then you will be presumed to have abandoned your LPR status, i.e. with no opportunity to rebut that presumption. Meaning, your green card is dead.
    People who are in the US are hoping to become a naturalized citizen. So if someone is here on a green card and they travel abroad, the travel could have an impact on your efforts to become a citizen.
    This applies mainly to the time requirement - meaning you have to meet a continuous residence criteria and the physical presence criteria.
    In other words, any time spent abroad cannot, except in limited circumstances, be counted toward the required number of days in the U.S. for purposes of filing for U.S. Citizenship. Generally, in order to become a Citizen, one must have spent at least half of the last 60 months (five years) in the U.S. - or 36 months (three years) if married to a U.S. Citizen. Time spent abroad may disrupt the “continuous residence” and “physical presence” requirements.
    The best way to avoid being deemed to have abandoned one’s LPR status is to apply for a re-entry permit by filing Form I-131. You must file for the re-entry permit while in the U.S. This will allow you to spend up to two years abroad without abandoning your legal permanent residence in the U.S.
    For more information on what it means to have a green card or on traveling outside the US on a green card, reach out to me. If I can't help, I'll find someone who can. Info@legalvlogger.com

      This is exactly what sucks about immigration law. So many things are just in a gray area with not concrete law behind it. I have friends who have stayed outside the US for more than 6 months per year. They have visited the US for 2 week, 3 week etc periods every once in a while. They were never questioned too hard. Just let back in. But all these advice videos makes you think you'll get thrown out of the country if you talk to the wrong officer. Hard to know what to believe.

      @@8rk You can come back to US within one year of your departure. But the residency time you have accumulated prior to departure will be lost. If you plan to stay out of US for more than an year, you should take reentry permit. Permanent Resident means you're going to be staying permanently in USA for purpose of your living and occupation. There are circumstances when you have to leave. Also if you get job or have business overseas. But keeping ties to the US is important to maintain your LPR status.

    They forgot to mention one very important thing. Green card being dead is only to the USCIS side. IRS will still consider you a permanent resident for tax purposes unless you officially withdraw your residency by application. So just because you have been outside US more that a year doesn't mean you are off the hook.

    Yes I travelled outside of US leaving November 2019. My mother was I'll and
    Placed in a care home. I wanted to spend time with her as she was 92. She died and there was the funeral and sorting out her home. I travelled to Spain to see my brother and travel a bit. I went straight into the strictest lockdown around at the time in Spain.
    We weren't allowed to leave the house except to go to the nearest store. Airports were closed etc. i couldn't travel either through airports and airplanes with asthma/COPD immune issues either. I wasn't allowed and when I heard I was allowed I booked a flight and tried to return and was refused at the airport. I tried at the consulate but they were all closed except for special and urgent cases.
    I was only 19 days past a year by this time. Now it's 2022. My green card is dead! I am still married and I have a daughter and niece and family there. My bank account is there. Everything is as I left it but I can't get on a plane.

I'm a permanent resident in the US and already completed my 5 year statutory in 2020. I'm planning to apply for my citizenship when I get back to the US this year. My question is, will my 5 year period reset back to 0 and have to redo my 5 years before I can apply for my citizenship again?
    I have proof that I'm still a resident and I've been and still living in the same house for 5-6 years, have a US bank account, drivers license and will pay my tax when W2 becomes available. Please advise.

    Does it matter which country abroad they are visiting? For example, my wife is planning to immigrate to the U.S. from Canada. She is a naturally born Canadian citizen. If she decides to visit her family in Canada, or Ethiopia (her parents birth place) will that affect her if the duration of her visit does not exceed 6 months?

    Q #3. If I able to travel out of US for 31 days will it affect when I apply for US citizenship?

I called the Immigration before,because when l came back to USA,the Custom told me that I need a new picture,so I call the Immigration here in USA,they told me no,If I put a new picture,my Green Card will limit,Example,2yrs or 5 yrs,then I have to renew it every two years or five years,but I’m fine because there is no limit on mine and keep on using it. The customs problems is because my picture is younger then now I’m older. Like they told me that my Green Card is not limit..Please let me know because I’m going on a trip soon..Thank you.
