its weird coz I always travel between south america and america and never had a problem!! haha now Spain surprised me

Im confused :S :S :S what do you mean?

I travel a lot between europe and the US...Spain was the first time...but I did not know there was a problem with Spain

like a one time thing or you think that will happen again? I arrived via Houston and they just welcomed in, 2 months later that happens in Boston.....

Hello guys, So I just wanna share what happened to me at the Boston airport, and ask you guys if you think this is normal. I entered the US many times with the GC + extension letter....and half of the times they send me to the secondary office, check my passport, letter and I always get in with no problems... sometimes they don't even send me to secondary , they just say Welcome! My extension letter expired....so it was my FIRST TIME traveling with the Stamp in my passport So when I entered the US they sent me to the secondary office.... ( I was coming from a 7 day trip to Barcelona ) ....I wait for like 1 hour or more... and they made me open my carry on, checked bag...everything...they checked everything inside my bag.....my backpack... they even asked me to turn on my macbook :S Is that a normal procedure? I need to travel abroad soon and Im afraid that's gonna happen again ( but now I have a 48 month extension letter...t I did not have on my last trip ) It was really embarrassing having my bags opened in front of other people waiting.... like I was a criminal or something thank you

where did you find this information? I could not find nothing about the "60 days"rule... I just know that I have to be in the US for Fingerprints

I think that is one of those questions that not even USCIS knows the answer... lol I read some cases online that people that applied during ROC, and even the ROC extension letter says to "apply for reentry permit if you want to stay outside for more than 12 months"... well...at this point, what Im gonna try to go is to wait a little bit to see if ROC is approved until July ( when my German classes start ). If its approved Im gonna go ahead and apply for a reentry permit..... If not, I dont know what Im gonna do maybe gonna apply for reentry permit and see what happens.....worst case I lose $700, but I had to give up my studies in Europe in 2021, because of that ROC pending...and now the same thing is happening but if they follow that rule you posted "A Reentry Permit issued to a conditional permanent resident is valid for 2 years from the date of issuance, or to the date the conditional permanent resident must apply for removal of the conditions on his or her status, whichever date comes first.' its really not valid, in my case, to apply for a RP I read again, and I think what they meant is....that if I apply for RP with a 2 year green card...the RP will expire on the date the 2 year GC expires...this is what I understood reading again @Mike E

hahah tks..but marriage is not an option lol I would not start the GC process from the beginning again...thats a lot hahaha I dont want to lose this GC, just wanna find a way to keep it while I study overseas that's what I want to do ,but its like..nobody knows ( probably not even USCIS ) how a reentry permit works during ROC and I dont qualify for n-400 coz in 2020 I had a 8 months stay in Japan.... and 6 months stay overseas make your n-400 reset

Hello, Visa Journeys, So this is my situation: I got a 2 year green card in 2018, and in July 2020 I applied for ROC with a divorce waiver. ( I sent my divorce decree to them September 2020 ), since September 2020, no updates....Potomac is taking forever to process ROC Now I have a STAMP in my passport valid until July 2023, and the 48 month letter, valid until July 2024. I live in Florida with my US citizen boyfriend. Life happens and now I have the opportunity to go to Germany to study for 2-3 years....it is a one in a life opportunity and I don't wanna miss it. I know the rule about "not staying outside of the US for more than 6 months / 1 year".... and Im not planning on stay in Germany for continuous 365 days.....but I don't wanna be coming to the US every 5-6 months or so..... So I understand that the correct thing to do is to apply for a Reentry permit. So I have a few questions: 1- how does it work if my ROC still pending and I don't know for how long is gonna be like that..Can I still apply for a reentry permit during ROC? 2- can the Reentry permit jeopardize my ROC? like USCIS deny my case saying that Im -- living outside the US --or something like that? 3- I cant find a lot of information about that, because I read that the Reentry permit is valid for 2 years.....But I also read that it is taking more than 1 year to get approved.......So can I apply and travel??? I cant wait 1 year lol....my classes start in 90 days! 4- Im gonna have a Germany student visa....does that jeopardize my ROC by any chance? I live with my boyfriend in Florida...where all my life is...and while in Germany I know I have to keep doing my taxes, etc.....but I dont wanna do nothing that can affect my return to America, my life is in America thank you
