Immigration AttorneyIf you plan to resume your job outside the US and your kids will be in school outside the US, you should apply for reentry permits after you are admitted to the US on immigrant visas. You must be physically present in the US to apply for reentry permits and be present for biometrics appointments. You should not depart the US for a period of 1 year or longer without first applying for reentry permits; otherwise, you may be considered to have abandoned your permanent residence in the US.
