Returning Resident

[Child of the Sun1 0]

Question, for applying returning resident visa or SB1 visa do you really need to be in a situation that is beyond your control? 

[Boiler 45,499]

Generally yes.

@Boiler was there  a situation that you encountered (read online or heard etc ) that the LPR who applied for the SB1 visa got approved despite of not having a case that can be considered as a "Beyond my control"?

Not that I recollect, now of course I am sure I have not seen every case on here never mind elsewhere.

@Boiler I see , In that case there might be cases as such out there then?

Is an unforseen circumstance can be an example of a " Beyond my Control " situation?

I have no idea how many cases there are and to what extent I have seen a representative sample. Not a very common issue on this site.

Well I have yet to come across two cases the same, by the very nature of these situations they tend to be individual and specific to the person.

I see. Is there a limit on this sb1 visa? Let's say the LPR has been gone 6 yrs, 7yrs because she took care of his parent who is ill. Can he still go back considering she's been gone 7 yrs? or 6 yrs?

[Boiler 45,499]

I am not aware of any limit, the case very much depends on the individual circumstance and the supporting evidence.

I agree with Boiler, although 6 to 7 years is an extremely long time.

oh ok. Ive read online that you also need to prove your ties in the US. Now Im sure not all of those LPR who applied for sb1 visa have their own houses or even a car. So what if you are just a single parent who is renting? how can you show your ties?  what taxes can you show if you dont have a property and onky w2 form is the only tax that you submit every yr

@TBoneTX Yes it does, but Im sure there are cases like that. I havent read anything that there is a time limit. It looks  to me like its a very gray area

[TBoneTX 45,288]

Submit your W-2 and whatever else you possibly have.

@TBoneTX So its still ok to submit your w2 form even at the same you are already about to apply for the sb1 visa? arent the Immigration officer going to see it like  fishy? because you've been gone that and long you are just filling your w2 for just now?
