Hi guy, if someone knows about this please!!! HELP!

I have been here (US)as a CR-1 conditional resident for 4 months, and we bouth ticket to visit my family for one week back in colombia. I asked inmigration long time ago if I could travel abroad with my conditional residence, and they said yes, but not more than 6 months.

I called today DHS for other puspose, but I asked just in case, and they are saying I cant leave the country, or if I do so, I have to apply for I-131 what is this?

Since you posted 2 times I will repeat what I already posted.

I 131 is needed if you plan on being out of the country more than a year I-131 is application for the reentry document. A CR-1 is a multi entry visa and you can leave the country on a short trip with out the reentry document. Also you should have green card by now making you an LPR.

Re-Entry Permit

Lawful Permanent Residents (green card holders) use re-entry permits to re-enter the U.S. after travel of one year or more. For LPR’s returning to the U.S., re-entry permits are generally valid for two years from the date of issuance of the re-entry permit. The LPR should apply for this benefit before leaving the U.S.

Conditional residents use re-entry permits to re-enter the U.S. after travel of one year or more. For conditional residents returning to the U.S., re-entry permits are generally valid for two years from the date of issuance of the re-entry permit or until the date the conditional resident must apply for the removal of conditions, whichever comes first. The conditional resident should apply for this benefit before leaving the U.S.

Someone you spoke with did not know what they were talking about, or thought you were her on a K-1 visa.

Have a good trip!
