being out of the US while on a two year conditional greencard

[bct 0]

I plan to visit in my home country and stay there for 5 months next year 2010 to work in a school. My conditional residency greencard will be expired in May 2011, which means i need to apply for removal of conditional status in Feb 2011. My status is based on marriage, but my husband can't go with me. I might be out of the US from June-November 2010. Will this greatly affect my application for removal of conditional status? Do I need a re-entry permit or i just need my 2 year GC to go out and be back here in the US?

Your responses will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

It won't affect your ROC but it may affect your timeline for naturalization if you are going for that. You don't need a reentry document unless you plan on staying outside the US for over a year.

Based on other that already went through the process..it seems that as soon as you get the first NOA your status should be updated for 12 months. I dont think you are going to be in trouble as long as you get that NOA and you have that with you when you leave the country.
