It would be helpful if you could repost with some paragraph breaks. Currently it is difficult to read and understand what the important points are.

[Mark + Melissa 49]

Best I can figure from this ramble is you are trying to reenter somewhere, but you have a ticket back 'home' and you can't get a job, but you're guaranteed a job. Also your parents paid you to travel for 6 months so you could 'recover' from the divorce, your friends let you stay at their house for free, and you get $60 from 'someone'.

The question you're asking is how you can prove ties to wherever it is you're trying to reenter, and you want to know what to do.

Would that be a correct assessment?

[canadian_wife 1,829]

Good gravy!

Where are you know? What exactly do you want to do? RE-enter the US? What country are you from?

Good luck

People ask the wrong question ,where you from ,where are you now what do you wanna do nosey #### people just come through with the pictures and evidence what else can you do give it a shot

[Ontarkie 14,506]

Ok let me see if I understand you.

After your divorce you went to visit your family for 6 months, then you returned to the US and you were staying at a friends house.

You have been looking for work, and apartment with no luck, then your mother breaks her leg.

Then finally you get a job offer in Oct, then your mother has complication from the broken leg(blood clots), at this point you were back in the US for 11 months Jan to Nov. That is when you leave again to go care for her.

While caring for your mother your father offers to send you to college/night classes. You go to school and take care of your mom.

You still have a job waiting for you in the US and you want to return to the US now after 8 months of being away, and you are afraid that they will turn you away? Because you think you do not have enough ties to the US?

Did I get this right?

yes, i think u did

Ok, I paragraphed it!:)every paragraph says something u need to pay attention,please

yes, my ticket is back home...where else than US?i really didnt think saying "back" "home" or "home" was going to be a trouble,the other house is my parents place.

The job was not there for a loong time, december 2010 till october 2011...i left november 2011 to see my mother due to her health situation and she being alone.

The letter for the job i got it recently, before it was the employer´s word only (decided to ask 4 a letter after i found out about the craziness about the re entry permit and prove of ties)

My parents paid my ticket to go to visit them after my divorce in 2010...till december , never went over 6 months!that time.from november 2011 and this i ditn mention it above till now...they paid for it too.

my friends have allowed me to stay over their home for free after the divorce...when being in USA...still have part of my belongings there.

the 60 dollars were money roders from my parents,to eat every week! even tho my friends would always offer me help in these matters.

now i have stayed 8 months, did not plan on it..it was always thinking :"less than a year"...but never thought it was going to be more than 6 months....and i did not digg into the craziness of opinions there are on the website about that re entry permit...aslo her health probelms its something I can not control.

Iam out of U.S.A.

There are Several facts to consider about my situation and then read the final questions...there is a huge background of stuff that leads me to say: any advice? what should i do to show why i stayed over 6 months...(now thta I know)more than my mother health and the chance dad gave me to study while caring for her, studying...i have no other prove if POE ask...I was not ready for this...WHY THERE IS NO CLEAR STUFF ABOUT WHO NEEDS A RE ENTRY PERMIT!! ITS REALLY FREAKING ME OUT!...

AS TIES...after finding out the over 6 months staying...only have drivers license and letter from employer...nothing else...the adress is true and real but i dont pay rent, lease, conrtract...etc etc

[Malagasy 4]

thelastone - I think you are trying to say that you are a Green Card holder that left the country to help your sick mother. You did not know you had to apply for a re-entry permit and you have been out of the country for 8 months.

Now you are afraid of what will happen when you return to the states and go through POE because you do not have much to prove your ties to the USA.

I think you are looking for suggestions on how to handle the re-entry to the states/POE situation.

Does this clarify the situation?

yes I will go with all the evidence i have even mother´s pictures, they r gross, but i rather have them see them than not if they ask me, Lordy ...

[Ontarkie 14,506]

I don't think you will have a problem returning,(nothing is guaranteed though) you still have a place to live with your friends that is the address USCIS has and that will be the address you say you are returning to if asked. When you are returning home to the US if you are asked why you were gone so long just explain how your mother broke her leg and had complications after with blood clots, and how you were also a student taking classes while she recovered. You have all the documents for this if they want to look at it. You also have a letter showing you are returning for work.

[Moomin 292]

You stayed in your home country for 8 months, yes?

You need to know if you will need a re-entry permit, or get in trouble without it when entering the US again, yes?

You have a greencard, is it the 2 year conditional greencard?

Are you legally still married to your wife, or are you divorced?
