LPR documents requirement when travel outside U.S.
My mom is LPR, and she intends to travel outside U.S. in this summer. After reading the file "Traveling outside of the U.S. - Documents needed for Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR)/Green Card holders" on U.S. Customs and Border Protection website. it says," Foreign nationals who have applied for permanent residency may need to be qualified for advance parole ahead of traveling out of the U.S. In order to be readmitted when traveling back to the U.S. (H1, H4, L1, L2, K3, K4 or V2, V3 holders do not require advance parole to travel abroad after applying to adjust status." I wonder, does my mother should file parole prior in advance to be able to be readmitted when traveling back to the U.S. ? Another concern, her green card will expire on March 2018. Is she alright to travel outside U.S. in December? As an LPR, how long can she stay outside U.S.? How many days can she stay outside U.S. if she travels multiple times during a year? Thank you in advance for your reply
A: For every one of the details either contact an immigration attorney or go to the USCIS office in Denver (schedule a meeting online because they don't meet non-scheduled parties). A lawyer will charge a fee as well as the USCIS will not charge you (but you'll need to wait). Complex parole is for individuals who are applying for PR standing, but have not been given proper PR approval. In other words, provided the green card continues to be legal advanced parole isn't normally needed.Within the boundaries of "temporary" journey, there aren't any limitations of how many times a permanent resident leaves the US, provided that they still meet the minimum amount of time in the US required to keep the PR status (i.e. 6 months or more outside the US can result in LPR abandonment).For the details of PR requirements review the PR program instructions. The USCIS webpage should also have this information accessible.Determined by when she files for a renewal and when your mother is outside the US an advanced parole might be deemed necessary.Eventually, recall a legal green card AND ALSO a valid foreign passport have to leave and reenter the US for green card holders.

My fiancee is British. She comes over here on a tourist visa several times annually. My target is to have her live with me here. I myself am a naturalized citizen, employed full-time. Does it make any difference whether we get married here or there, if she were to apply to live here?
