GC holder - return after 10-11 months

Post by tester » Thu Jan 22, 2009 10:07 am

Hi,

I got my GC last year through a lottery and I went there for an activation trip which lasted couple weeks.

I'm back in my home country in order to finish last year of university. And then I am going to study master degree in the U.S.

My problem is that I don't have a reentry permit and I'm currently 4 months out of U.S. I am planning to return totaly after almost 11 months for good.

Is that a problem?

I believe if you're planning to be gone from the US for more than 6 months you need a permit to re-enter.

Not true, if you re-enter the US within one year you do not require a re-entry permit. However if your trip is greater than one year but less than two years you require a re-entry permit.

You are right. I stand corrected.
