The issue, is that she doesn't have any of this. My wife's name isn't in my apartment lease. All she has is her green card, social secretary card, and knowing the address of hour home.

I've been doing more research about this because my wife will have our young children (US citizens) with her. 1) From what I understand, there is a high change my wife will have a secondary inspection. Is this true? 2) The CBT officer must let her enter. From what I read, they can detain her for 1-3 hours and she can ask for a supervisor. They can pressure her to give up her greencard, but the worst they can do is give her NTA. Are these true? 3) My wife does have a return ticket back to her home country. Will this be an issue? Again, I'm just worried because my wife will be with our young children next to her. If she was just by herself, I wouldn't worry about it.

Why is that she can't go outside of the U.S. for the rest of the year? If you don't mind me asking, which international airport did she fly into? How did they gave him a hard time? Was he detained for a few hours? FYI, my wife has a 10 year visa and our US citizen children (under 18) is coming with her.

Has there been any report in this forum (website) about someone being denied entry with a Green Card? Long story short, my wife came to the United States and stayed with me for a month. However, she had to go back to her country for personal reasons. When she returns to the United States, she will have been outside the country for a little over 4 months. Based on my research, my wife should be fine when she comes back, but in the worst-case scenario, could she be denied entry to the US? FYI, she has no criminal record, etc. From what I understand, the worst she might encounter is having to appear before a judge because she has been outside the States for a little more than 4 months. Can the officer strip her of her Green Card or force her to appear to an Immigration judge if she has only been outside the US for more than 4 months?

@TBoneTX @OldUser Do you know how long she can be gone from the U.S. before it can be an issue? I read that if you are gone for more than 6 months that you can be denied entry. But I also read that as long as it's less than one year, there shouldn't be any issues.

@nastra30@OldUser Long story short, my wife now has her green card in her possession. I do have another question. Will my wife have any issues the the officers if my wife has been outside the US for less than 5 months? She was only her for a month before she had to go back to her home country for personal reasons.

My family will arrive at SFO International Airport soon. I was wondering if it's like other airports in the US, where after immigration, my family can pick up their luggage right next to immigration and go to the domestic terminal right away. Or, do they have to take a train to get to the domestic terminal? Also, I was wondering about the safety in SFO International Aiport. Are there things that my family should look out for?

Thank you. I did get this message this Saturday (5/11/2024): Your item departed a transfer airport in INCHEON INTERNATIONAL, INCHEON, KOREA REPUBLIC OF I'm guessing the next step for the package (envelope) is customs?

I'm sending a Priority Mail Express Flat Rate Envelope to South Korea. It has been in this status for a couple of days: "Your item arrived at an origin transfer airport in O'HARE INTERNATIONAL, CHICAGO, UNITED STATES" Does this mean that the my package has been shipped to Korea or does this mean it's at the airport and waiting for custom clearance?

So I'm guessing with my wife's endorsement stamp, she should be able to re-enter back to the US and cannot be refused re-entry by a CBT officer? I have her 10 year green card. Below is her Endorsement stamp (I believe that's it's called) that she received by a CBT officer when she first entered back to the US.

But why did that person's spouse have issues if it's the law that she can re-enter back to the US? Should my wife have gotten an ADIT stamp before she left the US?

@TBoneTX@OldUser@Ontarkie I'm going back to this forum because I read this in reddit where someone's spouse had a difficult time re-entering back in the US with just an Endorsement Stamp: In summary of my question above, my wife is re-entering back in the US, but when she left the US, her green card was still processing. However, last month I received her Green Card. She first entered in the US in January 23, 2024. She left the US in early March, 2024, and will re-enter back in the US in early July, 2024. In total, she will be out of the US for less than 5 months once she arrives back. I know people said that she will have no issues coming back to the US, but it seems like not everything will go well for everyone. My wife just has is her passport and an Endorsement stamp next to it (pictures below). I also read about ADIT stamps and I'm confused between an ADIT stamp and an Endorsement stamp. My wife never got an ADIT stamp before leaving the US. After reading that reddit post, it made me concern that my wife can have issues re-entering back into the US. Will an Endorsement Stamp be enough to re-enter back to the US?

@TBoneTX She came to the United States with the I-551 from her passport this January. Do you think she will have any issues coming back to the US with the I-551 from her passport because she has her official Green Card now?

I've received my wife's Green Card via mail, but she's currently out of the country for personal reasons. She'll return in a few weeks. Her passport contains her temporary I-555. I want to ensure she faces no issues re-entering the US, despite having only the temporary I-555 with a stamp next to it. To send her physical Green Card, I'm considering carriers like USPS, UPS, and FedEx to her home country. I'd appreciate any advice or experiences others may have in this regard. I'm concerned about the risk of the Green Card getting lost during shipment, which would entail a hefty $600 replacement fee. While I've heard about insurance options, I'm unsure if they cover lost Green Cards. Any insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Any advice?

@pushbrk @appleblossom Thank you.

Yes, I understand that she shouldn't be gone for too long and etc. She will come back to the US in a couple of months and permanently live here. But my main concern is how can she prove before she arrives in the US that she has a visa to enter the US? For example, the airline because all she has in the visa paper is when it was issued and when her medical examination expires. How can I determine when her temporary green card expires? How can the airline determine when her temporary green card expires? She did her medical checkup on August 14, 2023.

So I'm guessing my wife has until January 23, 2024 to enter back to the US without her green card because her stamp was issues on January 23, 2023? I just checked with my wife. It seems like that's the medical date expiration date because my wife took her medical examination on August 14, 2023. Please note my wife IV issue Date was on September 25, 2023. I'm not sure if that means anything or not.

@pushbrk@millefleur I added the pictures of my wife's visa. I see where it says "Upon endorsement....", but I don't understand what IV Expires on 14 FEB 2024 mean. Does that mean when my wife has to arrive into the US and get it stamped by an immigration officer? So I'm guessing my wife can freely enter and leave the US for up to a year with just this paper visa?

@pushbrk Is this the I 551 stamp below (image)? The officer put a stamp above her CR1 paper visa in her passport. The reason why I'm asking is because I don't see I 551 anywhere on that stamp.

IV Issue Date: September 2023 IV Expiration date: February 2014 My wife came to the United States with the IR1 visa paper on her passport. We paid her immigration green card fee about after she arrived in the US. However, she had to go back to her country because of personal reasons. However, before she arrived in the US, her IV almost expired. She then left the United States after her IV expired and without getting her green card. Question: Can my wife re-enter back into the United without her green card? Or does my wife have to wait for her green card to come back to the US?

Wouldn't my wife be already a LPR? She already has the visa in her passport. Or does she become a LPR once she passes through immigration and get her green card? @PGA@Boiler It's Korea. I've taken my son out of the country by myself without any issues, but I took him to another country that wasn't the US. I'm not sure if the airline will need it or not to go to the US.

I'm having some fear right now because my wife and son (6 years old) will come to the United States. I'm currently in the US and my wife got her Marriage (permanent) visa approved. I do have a couple of questions. 1) Can my wife be denied entry with a Marriage (permanent) visa? It seems like the immigration officers at the airport have full control on who can enter the US. 2) My son is a US citizen and will go with my wife to the US. Does my wife need some written consent or any form of consent to take my son to the US? I know there will be pre-TSA before her flight. Thank you.

I came back to the United States from Japan this October. Before October 2023, I worked in Japan for many years. I've always used Form 2555 to exclude owing taxes to the United States. Once I got back to the United States, I started working right away in a local company near where I live. If I'm right, I would use Form 2555 for my physical presence test from October 2022 to October 2023 to exclude any taxes from what I earned in Japan. If I'm wrong, please let me know. My wife and I has a child together. Since I'm working for a local company now and I pay US taxes, can I claim my son as a dependent and get child tax credit and also using Form 2555 to exclude my income I earned in Japan?

Do I need to show her(sponsor) paycheck from current to present?
