Been globetrotting but worried about renewing your green card? Relax! You can still renew, but here’s the lowdown:
-
Lots of travel might raise questions: Extensive trips can make USCIS wonder if the US is truly your home.
-
Continuous residence matters: Avoid extended absences that could break this requirement. Short trips are usually okay.
-
Reentry permit for long trips: Plan to be out for over a year? Get a reentry permit before you leave.
-
Show you plan to stay: Proof of a job, home, or community ties helps convince USCIS you’re staying put.
-
Need to travel urgently? Expedited processing might be an option, but USCIS decides case-by-case.
Not sure if your travels affect you? Talk to an immigration attorney! They can assess your situation and guide you through the renewal process.
