I want to know what the rule of reentry.
Do I need to reenter in 1 year period of leaving the US or
Do i need to stay for 6 months in 1 years period to maintain my status.

I just want to know my options to make better desicion ?

Thanks,
Delhi_walla.

What is the status that you want to maintain?

You provide no information about your immigration situation, yet you expect people to be able to give you advice about it?

Google is your friend. Google "retaining green card" and "maintaining green card."

Thanks Raveen/Vietnam Kid.

Just to clarify I want to maintain my "Permanent Resident" or "Greencard" Status.

I have heard that we cannot file for reentry permit while outside US.
I have to to go home in next 3 weeks and I think it will take 120 days to get same
Please let me know how should I proceed to get reentry permit.
Anyone with similar experience will be of lot help.

-Delhi_Walla.

Dear Delhi Walla, if you are going to stay out of US for less than 1 year, then you do not need Reentry Permit. The issuance of permit itself takes much longer time and it is expensive. see the following site:
