Husband working abroad for some months after receiving green card?

[abbeymg 0]

Hi,

 

Can my husband work internationally after receiving his green card (in the process of getting it now). The reason I ask is because he should get his green card by August 2018 if everything goes according to plan, but his job placement in Germany lasts until April 2019. 

 

I will have already relocated to the US as of May 2018, which is why we filed already (DCF through Frankfurt). He plans on spending the months of December and January in the US, so he will be away for 3 months, then a month and a half back in the US and then another 2 months, most likely, before he settles here for good. Will this cause a problem? He plans on working here once he is free from his contract in Germany.

 

Thanks!

Once he has his green card, your husband can leave the U.S. for several months at a time -- he just has to keep his trips under 12 consecutive months. It is important that he maintain verifiable permanent residence in the U.S. to prevent accusations of abandoning his residency. I'd recommend making sure his name is on your U.S. lease/mortgage and utility bills.

Ok, thanks everyone! I will be sure to follow all these steps to ensure they know he is intending on settling in the US.
