How long LPR can stay outside USA
Hi All:
I have one question regarding my parents, they have green card(LPR)
and they want to go to their native country to visit their relatives,
I just want to know how long they can stay outside USA and come back
here without any problem.
Thanks and best regards,
~Farooq

Re: How long LPR can stay outside USA
It should be 12 months. anytime longer than that, they should apply a
Reentry Permit for greencard holder.

Re: How long LPR can stay outside USA
You are right that more than 12 months requires a reentry permit.
However, that is not to say that less than 12 months are automatically
safe - in fact, in some cases, you can lose the GC the day you leave the
USA (although this would be very unusual).

Re: How long LPR can stay outside USA
It would be best to stay out less than six months and certainly less than 1
year. More thasn 6 months can lead to a loss of an green card depending on
the specifics.

And staying out for more than 6 months "resets" the naturalization
clock, I believe

Not always. Staying out for more than a year always resets the
naturalization clock, staying out for more than six months may or may not
reset it.
