Hey VJers,

Due to the bad economy, I got laid off of work(temporarily), and after running out of money, we did the only viable option, which was to go back to the wifey's home country and temporarily wait it out at her parent's until my job called me back. That was almost 2 years ago. My company still hasn't given me the callback to work yet, so we're still waiting in her home country. We went back to the US (for about a week) last year to retain her greencard. Looks like we're gonna have to do it one more time before my company recalls me. Plane tickets to the mainland are expensive, but tickets to Guam are way cheaper. Would visiting Guam reset the "can't stay out of the US for more than one year" clock?

Thanks,

Janda

Guam is a territory of the US, so yes you are officially entering US soil. IE a person with a greencard in Guam would be considered to have residency. That being said, just visiting the US occasionally does not equal maintaining a perm. residence in the US. You may get away with it, but please realize that they would be within their rights to revoke the card.

Does your wife have a 10-year Green Card?

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Yes, she does have the 10 year GC. I guess I forgot to update it when we were going thru the ordeal of waiting...

Is there any difference that it's a ten year GC?

Not really, if you had only the 2 year it would have been pretty hard to remove conditions if your living out of the US, I'm guessing that's why Bob asked.
