Can we be overseas and still lift conditions?

[Eddie y Gabriela 0]

We are due to get our Green Card this fall with the usual "conditions". My question is, Can I accept a job overseas and still lift the "conditions" at the end of the two years, if we are indeed still overseas? Or is there a US residency requirement for those two years?

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Not even making the effort to look through the last couple of days worth of threads?

There was the exact same thing asked and answered just yesterday.

Consult an immigration attorney to review the details of your proposed situation. Preferably an attorney who has experience with abandonment of status issues, which could be hard to find.

Physical presence in the US is a condition for citizenship.

Which one of you is the "I" of the "we"?

Is this some sort of government job?

If it's a government job, for example US military personel, then you can file from overseas. This is the case for us since my husband is in the Army and we got stationed in Germany. You can't file from overseas if you have any job that's not a government job.
