2 year GC + out of country

[afisher 0]

I've asked before a while ago but just wanted to double check. My wife has a conditional 2 year GC and has been out of the states since 3/24/11. It's my understanding that as long as she returns before 1 year is up she should be fine and allowed entry? Am I correct in thinking this? Thanks for the help.

She may be asked for proof that she has not abandoned her residency (bills/ lease/ bank account in her name), especially if she left shortly after the greencard was issued, but yes, she should be ok.

Have the two of you reconciled? In your earlier post you made it clear that your wife had no desire to reside in America, but now she wishes to return?

All the best to the two of you

She should be prepared to answer potential questions on what she was doing abroad, how she was able to pay her bills, and show that she actually lives in the US and that the journey abroad was just a temporary trip. If she can answer these questions to the satisfaction of the CBO officer, she should have no problems getting admitted again.

Thanks for the answers. I think if she comes back in she'll enjoy it here more this time around. The transition was hard for her from Thailand to USA. So many differences she wasn't prepared for that she now knows about.
