My Conditional Greencard is not up till May of 2017 but we are moving back to Canada for a bit till my kids are graduated, then will decide where we are going to live for retirement. Is there anything that says I have to be living in the US to remove conditions? We are thinking of coming back to Texas to retire so I would like to have the greencard still active. I have looked through the instructions for RoC and don't see anything. I just want to make sure. It would make life so much easier in the end.

Thanks in advance.

You need to maintain residency in the US to maintain your LPR status. If you leave for longer than 12 months, the US most likely would cancel the green card.

Good Luck

How long are you going for?

Thank you everyone for your responses. I have been in the US for 2.5 years. My Ex has made it immposible for me to bring my kids here to the US other than for short visits and that in itself is extremely difficult. My youngest will graduate in 7 years. I have looked at all the forms and information, and it looks like I will have to do the willful abandonment then go through the whole process if we decide to move back once she graduates.
