  1. This is maybe off-topic, but I've been reading a lot of other threads on here for a few hours and it made me curious because of the other person that was in a similar situation. If you stay out of the states for 1 year while simultaneously having an expired green card, would you likely be allowed to enter through a land border? If I could just come in at once and avoid the Guam fiasco that would be easier. I would just baaaarely be over 1 year around April when I'd be able to travel back and stay for good. I saw you tell another user that only a judge can take away your lpr status, so that got me thinking that just going later, but at once would be easier than the back and forth. I hope that makes sense?
  2. I do, my spouse is being transferred back to the states sometime before summer so I am just trying to make sure that I would be covered
  3. Great thanks Mike it all helps me a lot. I booked a flight for next week and I'll give it a shot. Going to Guam, whether for a day, a week, or a year would 'reset' my clock for being abroad right? So I could essentially stay out of the country for a year after Guam without penalty? Me and my spouse are discussing this right now.
  4. Ok Ive got it thank you. I guess the final thing that is an unknown variable is, Will they stamp us even if it's not our residence? Our residence is in Washington, not Guam. The officer on the phone said they are probably going to ask to see some kind of address in Guam when we arrive at the appointment. Thank you for all of your help by the way, you're really saving me a lot of stress because it's so difficult to find proper guidance.
  5. I apologize I just mentioned that because it would definitely be more of a pain to get turned away if they were with me, but I follow what you're saying thank you
  6. Oh ok gotcha. Well hopefully they don't deny us entry that would be unfortunate Yes the baby and spouse are both citizens.
  7. I see. Sorry about that, I understood that I needed to fill out that form since the Mariana islands have the agreement of no visa necessary. So just to understand, we are using this program to just get our feet on the ground in Guam. Once in Guam, it is up to us to essentially throw out the form and present the i-193 when we get to the customs section of the airport? The officer will review it and probably ask questions and likely charge us the fee and let us enter. If we are lucky they could issue the i551 stamp on the spot, if not, we will just go to the appointment the following day and all should be good, regardless of our visa address being in Seattle, not Guam? The baby is mine and my spouse's, we aren't able to leave the baby home so she will be joining us. We intend to return to Korea for a couple months more before going back to the states
  8. Alright, we have decided to go with the Guam option using the CNMI waiver. On form i-736, it asks if I have ever applied for an immigrant or nonimmigrant visa for the US before. I have, then it asks follow on questions. I'm worried that that this can flag me from entering Guam once I get there. Wouldn't this raise suspicion if I've applied for a visa (although expired) and I'm trying to get into Guam? Also, I have an appointment set, but when I scheduled it, the officer said I should have an address for Guam that I need to present the officers during my appointment because they are supposed to schedule me only at the nearest office from my residence, which is in Seattle but I cannot get into Seattle because my GC is expired. Can I get any guidance? I'll be traveling with a baby and it would be rough to get sent back to korea right away 😂.
  9. I am out of the country (Since feb) due to some unforseen circumstances (all of which I have official documentation for). Prior to leaving, I submitted a reentry permit - currently pending for 15 months so far. My greencard and extension letters have all expired. Once the re-entry permit comes back in, am I free to enter the states, even with my expired GC? What is the date typically put for the reentry? Is it from the filed date, or the date they approve it? Are most people approved for re-entry? I have no reason to not get approved, but I am curious. If my Greencard comes back approved, but my Reentry is still not in, what is my option for returning?
