Hi -
I've been a US permanent resident since October 2023. I am from let's call it Country A. I traveled out of the US in November 2023 to marry my long-time partner in Country B.
When I traveled back to the US in November 2024, I was sent to secondary inspection and was asked why I had been away for almost an entire year. I explained that I got married. I also thought it was okay as long as it was less than a year, but it turns out the limit is actually six months or less. Anyway, I was allowed entry and reminded that I should have applied for a re-entry permit.
I travelled outside the US again in December 2024 but before I left, I applied for a re-entry permit and submitted my biometrics. I received a notification recently that it has been approved and will soon be available for pickup from the US consulate in Country B.
I became a citizen of Country B in December 2024 where I lived since 2017.
My intention is to stay in the US and file a petition for my wife to join me, but it was practical to obtain my citizenship in Country B.
I am currently applying for jobs, but I haven't had any luck yet. I prefer to secure a job first, as I'm supporting my parents and also have a mortgage.
I have US bank accounts, a credit card, driver's license, investments, active US mobile phone number, etc.
Would I have issues re-entering the US when I use my new passport (plus green card and re-entry permit) from Country B?
Thank you all in advance.
