Leaving the US with greencard

[mangu 0]

I would like to hear your feedback on this:

In case of a unusually quick (not likely, but possible) I-130/NVC/Embassy approval, I might not be able to move to the US immediately. I would stretch it out by entering the latest (6 months after medical), but it could happen, that I would need to return to my home country once or twice for about two months each time. These visits would be for handling with any remaining assets, paperwork etc. in the home country.

So following my first POE as permanent resident, I would be out of country for say 4 months during 6 months, reentering the US about every 3 months (like first POE in January, leave in February, come back in April, leave in May, come back in July). Once again, my visits back to my home country would be to finalize my moving to the US because I had an early approval and didn't have enough time to do before.

Would these visits, especially that they are right after getting admitted as a permanent resident, cause any problems with coming back to the US, or getting conditions removed after 2 years? I know about the "try not to stay out of the States for more than 6 months on a green card rule", and I would come back each time a lot less than 6 months, but still, do you foresee any problems with this scenario?

Thank you!

No I do not forsee any problem. If you can give strong reasons to POE officer if at all asked, then you can explain them. I have had similar problem, where I was working in London and did trips to US 6months and once they stopped me and asked me to apply for Re entry permit to avoid any future issues.

Its normal for people to go back to finish unfinished business in home country.

You should be fine, as long as it is only a couple of times.

But it may be cheaper and easier to simply delay your medical and interview, and so time your visa for when you are ready to move.
