@Timona well, Im not lying…. I could not do the job…..typing here is easy!!!

 

@Rocio0010 I dont know yet, I dont know how long is gonna take for my finger get better, I mean to recover 100%. It might take 6 months, 1 year. I dont know. 
 

@Mike E but if I apply for a reentry permit now its gonna expire with the 24month letter right? So I dont see the point

If the injury you, is the same I had, it too 8 month to repair.

OK, as a physician I can confirm that hand/finger injuries are actually very complicated and do require management by an orthopedic and/or plastic surgeon. (Which was always kind of weird since someone who comes to the ER with a broken toe, we just tape it, but if they came in with a broken finger, we had to call Ortho/Plastics. The hand is just way more complicated.) This treatment can be expensive and prolonged, so all of that is understandable. As to why OP is able to type all of these responses, I assume they are thumb-typing with a phone instead of a full keyboard (and yes, the USMLE is computer based but primarily uses a mouse to select answers for multiple choice questions, not much typing required there). However, OP you are running a very dangerous path staying outside of the US (really, living abroad) for such a long period of time while trying to maintain your LPR status in the US. Now that your marriage is (or will be) dissolved, your reason for immigrating to the US is also going away and you will want to demonstrate that you actually have strong ties to the US and are actually living here. What it seems like, from my reading, is that you are now back to living in your home country but want to maintain your LPR status to make it easier to obtain a residency in the US once you decide to move back. (Not a judgement, just an observation.) While you don't need a reentry permit until you have been outside the US for more than 1 year, maintaining LPR status really means living in the US >6 months of each year (i.e., more than half of the time). By returning to the US after 5 months and then leaving for another 5 months shortly afterward, you are running the risk of immigration deciding that you aren't actually living in the US and don't meet LPR requirements. My suggestion would be to get your finger fixed in your home country, start rehab there, come back in May and then STAY HERE for at least 5 months before leaving again. If the cost of treatment in the US is prohibitive, obtain health insurance through an Obama care plan (something you should do even without a broken finger--never a good idea to be walking around without health insurance) and get treated through a covered provider.

thank you. the fact that Im saying the treatment its gonna take a few months is based on the fact that orthopedist - hand surgeon told me. Im doing a "conservative" treatment, that is phisioterapy .. and its not helping at all....im afraid that I lose movements/motion forever because its really messed up. and im a left handed, so you can imagine.....

Im studying for STEP 1 right now, Uworld, bnb, pathoma, etc...I dont wanna go back to the US right now coz besides the fact that Im injured and lets be honest, gonna be difficult for me to work full time, to study for step 1, and to pay for a medical treatment...lets be honest, that would be kinda of impossible...Im not gonna have any help....my parents cant help me in the US.......thats why I wanna stay with my parents until I recover 100% ....So thats why I made this thread to see if my plan is possible ( you took step 1, so you know what I mean how difficult this is going to be ).... I was working for a call center in the US however before that I was working for Amazon..with my hands all day....and honestly I would prefer to work on that type of job....

Im not gonna stay overseas until I pass all the tests, it would be just this year, but if that gonna harm my ROC, I will probably going back to the states for good soon

 

ps: sorry about my english its difficult to type right now like u said

Seems like a good story for 90day  

OP, people are trying to help you with right information and being snarky is not going to get you anywhere my friend.

Well, here’s the thing: if OP thinks we’re grilling him with questions because the story doesn’t add up, it probably won’t add up either to the officer reviewing the case.

My situation is very stressful, and you calling me a liar or saying that I want to "fake" that I live in the US, when I just wanna be overseas temporary.

 

I totally understand that is not recommended to stay outside the US while ROC is pending, but thats the story of my life!  Guess Im gonna wait and see what happens!! I ll keep u guys updated

I never said that. It is clear you’re outside of the US. The point is that you keep changing the time you plan to spend abroad. At first it was a few months, now it is a year. 

[Allaboutwaiting 2,503]

I'm honestly baffled at all the members that have been questioning, judging and even mocking the OP regarding his injury and treatment decisions.

Not even an occupational health specialist would dare to have an opinion on this matter based on OP's limited account.

I was upset because they keep saying “u have a broke finger but u can type here?”  And that “I said i would be out for months and now im saying 1 year….”  Im very confused about everything and people making fun of the situation…. My post , I mean my question is only if USCIS will deny my case because Im gonna stay overseas for most of 2022…. Its a simple question… because I havent found a situation like this… I ve been looking for answers for days

im not asking about CBP or what is going to happen when I land in the US… I know the risks

im just curious to know if they gonna deny me ONLY because im overseass, if that happened before?
