Question about re-entry after a green card holder stays abroad more than 6 months
I may need to stay in Korea for more than 6 months. I’d like to know if there will be an issue re-entering the U.S. afterward.
I’ve heard that if you’re abroad more than 6 months, you need to file for a re-entry permit or prepare other supporting documents.
I’d like to know exactly what documents I should prepare.
A re-entry permit must be filed while in the U.S., and if you stay abroad more than 6 months, you may be subject to additional screening at U.S. entry processing at the airport, so you should prepare documentation showing your ties to the U.S. before you leave.
