Could the application for re-entry permits impact our ability to remove conditions on our green cards?

It should not have any negative impact. As a matter of fact, the purpose of a re-entry permit is precisely to prevent any possible problem that your absence in the U.S. may create.

It depends on the specific reasons why you are requesting the re-entry permits.

No, the application for re-entry permit will not negatively affect your removal of conditions application. However, as recommended by your attorney, start to strategize your presence in the U.S. for purposes of naturalization.

Absolutely not. As long as you have a valid reason to apply for re-entry permits, that is what they are there for. That said, you need to make sure that you are showing evidence of intent to make the United States your permanent residence. You can prove that by paying taxes, having a permanent address in the United States and a valid explanation as to why you need to temporarily be out of the United States for an extended period of time.

It should not, but you need to show a good reason for foreign residency, an intent to make the U.S. your home (permanent residency is not just for convenience), and pay all U.S. taxes on worldwide income, in addition to usual requirements for I-829. It will impact eligibility for citizenship.

No, filing for re-entry permits would not negatively impact your ability to remove the conditions on your permanent residency.

The application for re-entry permits does not negatively impact your removal of conditions application.

No, the application for a U.S. re-entry permit will have no impact whatsoever, upon the removal of conditions when you file your petition on Form I-829. As long as you maintain your conditional permanent residency, there should be no problem. Obtaining a U.S. re-entry may, under certain circumstances, allow you to preserve your conditional permanent residency. There&#39s no downside.

Re-entry permits would not impact your CPR status if you continue maintaining ties to the U.S. during absence in excess of one year, such as keeping property, paying income taxes, etc. There are also specific requirements for naturalization. Discuss planning with your immigration attorney.

Generally a re-entry permit is conclusive evidence of no-intention to abandon. However, I still advise my clients to try and not be absent for more than five months at a time and be sure to have good reason to explain the absence. Having a green card means you must have the intention to live in the U.S. This may be excused in certain instances.

Since you have a lawyer and since he is more familiar with your situation, I think you should ask him this question and listen to his advice.

No. It is safe to have re-entry permits.
