Hey guys, i have a question:

my wife is a greencard holder and she is filing a re-entry permit  to protect her greencard because she has a phd to finish outside USA. As im her husband she wants also to file a spouse visa to get also greencard later. Can she file for a re-entry permit and also a spouse visa at the same time for the reason to not waste our time waiting for my documents to finish once my files are accepted by USCIS ?

I hope she is aware that she needs to file a US tax return even if she's outside the country and include income earned in Lebanon? There is a tax treaty between the US and Lebanon so she should be abl

Then she can't apply for a re-entry permit anyway, if she's already left the US.

Oh, and also, if she can make it just under 6 months then she won't interrupt her 'continuous residence', so will be able to apply for US citizenship earlier too. So I'd suggest she makes it just a bi

Your post history seems to indicate that you already are a Geen Card holder.

How long will she be outside the US? Current PD for F2A visas is January 2022, so if she petitions for you now the wait time is likely at least 3-4 years.

 

I can't speak to the part about filing while outside the US, especially if she is LPR and not citizen - I would think this would attract extra scrutiny at the very least.

No just my wife has greencard, im still without it and still didnt file for it so im just asking to see if we can proceed with my papers even if she is filing for re-entry permit.

You posted "We entered the US, the main applicant and myself and changed my address at the cbp at the airport. But i read that the postal service address should be also changed. I dont know if it will be automatically changed. Thats why im asking. And im not living with my sponsor, we are living in a different state. I dont want my papers to go to the sponsor, i want them to sent to me"

 

 

Where are you right now?

Are you and your wife sharing this account? Your post history is really confusing. How did your wife get her green card and how long has she lived in the US since getting it?

Under what visa category did she enter the US?  When were you married? Where are you right now?

She needs to return to the US to file for the re-entry permit.  She can also file an I-130 for you.  It will be a few years before you can enter the US as F2A.

No she is going back before one year and she will apply it there. She is going to travel to US next week, her parents are already there and she has a home

OK.  She can file for a re-entry permit when she is in the US.  She can file an I-130 for you at any time she wishes.
