Re: going back..shannon imm experiences
So you've got a greencard?
Based on marriage? Didn't get conditions removed and moved back to the UK? And are wondering if you will be able to move back to the US? Time for a lawyer. |
Re: going back..shannon imm experiences

If you've been out of the USA more than 12 continuous months, you can expect a hard time because you might have abandoned your PR status. What have you done while outside the USA, to maintain your PR status in the USA, other than hold a green card? Rene |
Re: going back..shannon imm experiences
You've been back in the UK for over 12 months?
Have you done anything to maintain your residence in the US? Kept a place, bank account, filed taxes etc? Did you apply for a Re-entry permit before leaving? |
Re: going back..shannon imm experiences
Did you get a re-entry permit?
If not, how about a [EDIT: Returning Resident] visa? From travel.state.gov, "A permanent resident (called lawful permanent resident or LPR) or conditional resident (CR) who has remained outside the U.S. for longer than one year, or beyond the validity period of a Re-entry Permit, will require a new immigrant visa to enter the U.S. and resume permanent residence." I agree with Bob - have a consultation with a US immigration attorney to discuss your situation. |

Have got a U.S. bank account..have filed taxes..have furniture etc in storage..just a victim of the economy basically, not an easy option when you have little funds to support yourself and 3 mouths to feed..so..i came back to work, and am now in a position to return .

I agree with the others, a consultation with an attorney is in order. You might need to look into the Returning Resident Visa. Rene |

You'll get in. But you might be scheduled for an appointment with an immigration judge.
