I was recently asked as a Morristown Immigration Attorney about losing your Green Card because they had to stay outside of the U.S. for over 6 months because of a sick parent. When you have a green card there is a residence requirement. The residency requirement is that you cannot live outside of the US for more than one year without getting special permission. I advise clients as a Morristown Immigration Attorney that sometimes when you stay outside for over six months, the inspectors at the airport may give you a hard time because they may suspect you aren’t maintaining your lawful permanent residence status.
Are you considering travelling and remaining outside the US for over six months? Contact our experienced Morristown Immigration Attorneys.
