Hi all,
I haven't been on here in a long while, and have a few questions about the situation I am in. The resources on VJ really helped me when I was first dealing with US immigration 12 years ago!
Back in 2011 I moved to the US on a K1 visa, got married, did the AOS, removal of conditions, and eventually received a 10 year green card. I got a job, we bought a house, we had kids(dual citizens US and NL). Then, the pandemic happened and it was much harder not to be near my family. We decided to move to the Netherlands, where I am from, to be close to my family for a while. My husband (American) found a job and we finally moved summer 2022.
I like it here but know I don't want to stay forever - I think we would want to move back to our house in the US in Summer 2024. I would like some advice regarding the steps to take to make this happen. I haven't yet given up my GC, but realize I will probably have to do that. It doesn't seem like I meet the criteria for a readmittance visa since I left voluntarily to live outside the US. It is all a bit confusing, and frankly, scary to see the processing times for visas etc. It almost seems as though I would need to apply for a new visa in the next few months if we want any chance of getting an immigration visa in that time frame. And will I be allowed to travel to the US to see our family, friends, and take care of things regarding our house?
Any help would be much appreciated, I am kind of freaking out over here.
