Hi,

I hope I can get some advice from this forum, so here is my case.

My Husband is an USC, and I had applied the marriage green card thru him few years ago. I got my conditional green card and had successfully remove the condition to become a 10 year green card.

But both of us have just decide to move back to Hong Kong due to family issue, and had plan to stay there for the rest of our life.

As my parents have a lot of asset, we think it may be better for me to give up my green card to avoid tax issue later on, but we will keep his USC (we do not have any oversea asset now just if you want to know)

So our concern is what if we need to come back to US later, can I reapply my green card thru him again?

and will the immigration give us a hard time because:

a, I apply green card thru him twice

b. I had given up my green card before

Any advice will be greatly appreciate!

Besides, is there any tax advice for us?

Again, thanks for helping!

Not a problem as a LPR, I believe there is if you are a USC.

I can apply citizenship, but since my parents may pass the asset to me later on, so I really want to avoid a big tax bill. And we are not sure if we are coming back, so I guess giving it up maybe a better option for me.

However, I want to make sure if in case we need to come back to US, I will have no problem for reapplying thru marriage green card with his citizenship, as there is always better to have an option =)

Thanks for the input!

You won't have any issues reapplying again if that comes up. If anything you'll have an easier time of getting visitor visas after giving up your green card (which you do after you arrive in your new home.)
