SB-1 Question

[camifree 2]

Hi,

I haven't logged in here for years, literally. Many, many things have happened. But well, I'd like to know whether there's any forum related to the SB-1 visa (returning resident). I'll appreciate any info.

Thanks a lot in advance!

What is your question?

Thank you very much! Well, I'd just like to hear about experiences... If anyone has managed to obtain it, timeframes, receptivity, possibilities, you know? I think that even though I don't hold any ties with the US anymore other than the fact that I lived, worked and paid my taxes for 5 years as a lawful resident, I did have valid reasons for not having returned since 2010.

Most of the cases I remember from on here involved medical reasons- like an elderly relative and no-one else to take care of them, or a baby unexpectedly born abroad early and needing to be in the NICU there for a long time.

Ok... I have medical reasons (my own), and I have evidence to prove it. I just don't know if the fact of not having kept assets, investments, properties or family ties in the US will prevent me from returning as a lawful resident. That's basically what I would like to know: what are my chances before investing lots of time and energy in that new process.

Have you filed taxes for the years you weren't in the US ? If not it would seemed you have abandoned your residency
