yes they can. a green card holder can travel freely outside of the u.s.
That depends on the motives of the green card holder ;)
As a green card holder you might have to stay outside US for more than 6 months at a stretch. After a year in US as a green card holder in case for example you need to stay outside US for employment reasons then you can file Form N-470 to preserve residence. Trips outside US as a green card holder should not exceed 180 days per trip. If you are going to stay outside US for more than a year remember to apply for reentry permit and get it approved before leaving US by filing Form I-131. Also green card holder should pay the relevant taxes to show his intention to continue to be a green card holder and not abandon his residence and status in US while staying overseas.
Nope, unless the holder had a form 131 that would allow 2 years outside the u.s. Otherwise, ICE will consider the green card abandoned.
Hi I got married to a green card Holder outside India. I applied for H1b and got my work visa and came to Us through that. Hoe can i convert my H1b to greencard.He got his green card 3 and half months before. can anyone answer
A child that has a green card cannot stay more than one year outside the USA. A green card holder has to spend at least 6 months inside the US each year.
First and foremost requirement to apply for US citizenship is that you need to be in US as a green card holder and more than 18 years of age. Only with continuous residence in US for 5 years as a green card holder you will be eligible to apply.
By filing Form I-131 green card holder can get reentry permit which is valid for 2 years. When a green card holder is going outside US and will return only after a year this reentry permit is required and should be applied for before leaving US.
you just ask the green card holder if you can borrow his.
Going to Seattle from inside the US - no. Going to Seattle from outside the US (even Vancouver) - yes.
After a year in US as a green card holder in case for example you need to stay outside US for employment reasons then you can file Form N-470 to preserver residence. Trips outside US as a green card holder should not exceed 180 days per trip. If you are going to stay outside US for more than a year remember to apply for reentry permit valid for 2 years and get it approved before leaving US.
If you are a green card holder and will be outside the US for less than twelve months (one calendar year) you will need your green card. Otherwise, you will need to apply for reentry permit using immigration Form I-131, which is valid for 2 years and you will need to present before reentering U.S.
