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
