Hello all.

 

My husband is a citizen of his home country where he was born, therefore he holds that country's passport. However he had lived and worked in another country before immigrating to the US.He is married to me, a US Citizen and lives in the US now. He wants to travel back to the country where he lived before migrating to the US. His NONhome country. Will he have issues traveling back to the US. Where he holds his Green Card?

What country is he traveling back to?

 

I have always heard he can stay gone up to 6 months and may get question at airport, and I have heard being gone over one year could be considered abandonment of GC.

 

My wife travels for up to 2 months couple times a years back to her home country of Philippines and never been an issue.  We spent about 3 months out of the USA last year, 3 weeks in Mexico,  2 Weeks in the Eastern Bahamas and 2 months in the Philippines, never had issue

Thanks. Home country is Moldova, visiting country is Kazakhstan. 

There are some Middle Eastern Countries I think you need to avoid ,the ones on the travel ban that could cause issue if you go there and try to come into the USA.  I don't think the two you listed are on the travel ban so he should be fine, but again double just to be sure. I am not familiar with the side of the world
