...probably worth talking to an immigration lawyer, too.

 

You will be able to tell him/her the reasons of your absence, (s)he will (likely) tell you how much weigh those carry with the immigration officers at the aiport, etc etc (basically how solid your case is/how likely you are to run into trouble).

 

Likely worth the consultation fee (don't pick the cheapest one. Also choose one with experience, who only does immigration law).

Thank u so much. You r so kind to reply in such detail. 🙏🏽 God bless !! And pray for me please!!! Im in a very rough phas eof my life.

What do you mean by that?

 

There's several conditions to be eligible under 3 year rule:

 

- Be present at least 18 months as LPR in the US in the last 3 years

- Be married to a US citizen for at least 3 years, and the citizen should be a citizen all of those 3 years. Also make sure you live in marital union all 3 years (e.g. not living separately, have long breaks from each other etc)

- Not have any trips over 6 months in the last 3 years

Thanks for the prompt reply, 

 

What i meant was # from your reply - Be present at least 18 months as LPR in the US in the last 3 years. i had been out several 5 months trips  since VAWA GC issued April 2022.

You need to calculate days in the US since April 2022. If you'll have less than 18 months when you try applying, you'll have to wait until you have physical presence under 3 or 5 year rule.
