Question

My finacee has green card of US for how much time she can stay out side USA without affecting her status?

Answer 1

364 days at the most. she has to come back within 365 days other wise the green card would expire

Answer 2

She has to be in the States for six months a Year.

Answer 3

Less than a year without the filing of a special form as "returner". However she needs a residence in the States. And an explanation why she is abroad (No "other residence" abroad, otherwise they (the customs people) take her card)

Answer 4

If there is a demonstrated emergency that would require a person (fiancee) to retain their residence in the U.S. and travel out of the country and remain for up to 2 years, the person can go to the web site www.uscis.gov and use the Form I-131 located in the Immigration Forms section.  The form is for the person to obtain a reentry permit.  A common scenario for such a necessity would be for the lawful permanent resident to return to their home country to settle a family estate.

Answer 5

She can go outside the US for up to 6 months.  She has to maintain a residence of the US.  If there is more then a 6 months residence gap she will loose her green card.

I know this for sure as my husband has gone thru it.  We were out of the country for awhile and came back 3 days before his 6 months was up.  They were telling us that was too close and next time we should be careful and keep track of the time.
