Part3 Number9 on the form

[kaydee 0]

Hi! I need help guys.

I'm filling out the I751 and there's this question on part3 #9: Have you resided at any other address since you became a permanent resident?

My case is my husband, with our daughter and I are currently in Australia -- husband will be working here for 2 years. We've been here for almost 2 months now. Should I say yes to that question (I think I should)?

One more thing, I am going to be honest in my cover letter that my husband has a job in Australia and that I will be travelling here to the US until I get a re-entry permit. Will that be a wise thing to do?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Additional Question:

Do you think I should also get a police clearance from Australia?

One more thing:

Who should make the cover letter, the US citizen, the alien spouse, or both?

One of the conditions of being a legal permanent resident of the US is that you have to actually reside in the US. If you are intending to be out of the US for over one year, you must apply for a reentry permit before leaving the US. the question is addressed on the web site below:

Thank you for taking time to reply. I know that re-entry is needed. But I am not gone for long yet but will be after the I751.

My question is: should I also submit a police clearance if I say yes to #9 question of the form (being here in australia with an address for over 2 months now). I will tell them in my cover letter that I am going to apply a re-entry permit after the I751. But until that time, I will be staying in the US.

Or is it smart not to mention anything about Australia? I am scared if I get on the interview part and my husband is working, he won't be able to come.

Thanks for anybody who can advise.
