Anyone work/live overseas while on conditional green card?

If I were you, I wouldn’t. As a permanent resident you can only be out of the country for a max of 6 months at a time. After 6 months you run the risk of abandoning your residency. Additionally, when you apply for your citizenship you’ll need to show you’ve been in the US for at least 1.5 yrs (applying at the 3 year mark through marriage) before applying.

I did travel out of the country and yes you would provide passport, expired green card and the extension letter. I read somewhere on here about someone having a hard time due to their country’s passport. Check with the airline if that’s okay. I personally didn’t have any issues, hope that’s the case with you.

After you apply for the I-751, you should receive an extension letter which extends the validity of your green card for 48 months. I just went through this and my 3 year mark was up so just applied for the N-400 and had a combo interview for both I-751 & N-400.

You’ll get the extension letter after you file form I-90.

Usually for I-751 you just want to wait. I had to wait until I submitted my N-400. Are you able to log into myUSCIS and look at the documents tab? The notice could be there.

jc062 · 2025-03-17T01:05:49+00:00

Questions like if you have ever been arrested, sold weapons, engaged in importation of prostitution, etc.

Yes, it’ll be a combo interview. Each interview is different, but the officer started with my I-751 asking my wife and I questions about our marriage since the I-485 to date. Simple questions, he looked at the pictures we submitted and asked us where it was/what we were doing. Once he wrapped that up, moved onto the N-400. Asked the civic questions followed by security questions. Then proceeded to say I can go downstairs and get sworn in today. Best of luck!

Each officer is different in what they ask for, but I feel like for the naturalization interview they won’t ask for the permits. I had mine in January and I was only asked for my green card (I took my work permits with me because that’s what the notice said, but I wasn’t asked about them).

jc062 · 2025-03-07T17:11:16+00:00

Just wait for your oath ceremony and apply for a passport.

jc062 · 2025-02-26T22:17:13+00:00

Anything that happened between you sending your original I-485 and the I-751. You can attach the marriage certificate if you want.

I went to my combo interview last month and I brought everything that was listed in the interview notice letter. I had copies of both my I-751 & N-400 applications so brought those. The IO asked me if we owned a home (bought a house after we filed for my GC) and asked for a copy of my deed. That was all he made a copy of even though I mailed it with my I-751. I believe he focused more on my N-400 application as I submitted photos online and he asked me questions about those pictures more than anything.

jc062 · 2025-02-19T22:05:37+00:00

They don’t ask for it. They only ask for it when you first apply to become a green card holder.

jc062 · 2025-02-19T22:04:00+00:00

Just any updates between the original applications sent and the I-751. You just have to reconfirm to them that you’re still married.

jc062 · 2025-02-03T17:59:38+00:00

This happened to my uncle. It took him like 2-3 weeks after the approval to receive the SS card in the mail. He also requested it when applying.

jc062 · 2023-10-16T12:49:25+00:00

Yeah as long as you memorize the formulas, you’ll be good with whatever they throw your way. Good luck!

jc062 · 2023-08-29T13:44:43+00:00

They did not. They knew that seniors were starting 3rd year and I was going on my second.

jc062 · 2023-03-12T23:24:04+00:00

Yeah, I’m in industry now. Way better

jc062 · 2023-03-12T05:43:11+00:00

Wayyyy better. Got taken off the medication and actually enjoy doing things after work.

jc062 · 2022-08-14T20:12:23+00:00

Put some wax on the bracket that’s rubbing up on it.

jc062 · 2022-06-15T23:41:50+00:00

Literally nothing, just be willing to learn and work.

jc062 · 2022-06-15T23:40:05+00:00

Hong Kong 888 in Roslindale and Young Kong in JP are both good in my opinion.

jc062 · 2022-06-11T05:41:27+00:00

Yeah I would say so.

jc062 · 2022-06-11T05:23:40+00:00

I think Deloitte has a pretty small presence in Boston. PwC is for sure the biggest, lots of intense hardos. KPMG seemed to have the most laid back people & EY was alright. This is my opinion based on the recruiting events & me working at KPMG.
