Form 8854 if not LTR

[SweetJuls 69]

Hello everyone,

 

I have recently learned that since I left USA in 2019 I needed to file a I-407 and as a consequence the form 8854.

But actually reading carefully, I read that only if you are identified as LTR you need to file form 8854 is that correct?

 

I became LPR in May 2016, changed country for good in November 2019 with relative change of residency also recorded in my own country. That would make 3 years of LPR, and I read to be defined as LTR you need to be LPR for 8 years.

 

So my question is: if I just know file I-407 form so that I will not have issues in the future to travel to the USA maybe even for work, would I need to file form 8854 anyways?

 

Thank you for anyone who will reply in advanced.
