Reentry Permits

Reentry Permits

Under certain circumstances, lawful permanent residents (LPR) who leave the United States for long periods of time may lose their green card status. If an LPR is outside of the US for more than one year, the Department of Homeland Security takes the position that residency has been abandoned. However, LPR (green card) status may be abandoned even if an individual is outside the US for less than one year, where the individual lives and works abroad.

The Shapiro Law Group helps individuals prepare and file Reentry Permit applications with USCIS, which if issued by USCIS, establish that permanent residency (green card) status is not abandoned by temporarily working and living outside of the US. Contact us today about your immigration issue.
