Legal Answers
434 Questions Answered
Q. I am outside us with green card for 18 months can i maintain my permanent resident status certificate of naturalization
A: Any absence abroad for US permanent resident over a year, 12 months, will render one’s permanent status void and abandoned absent any applicable exceptions. Thus, by operation of law, US permanent resident must reside in the United States permanently.

Out of abundance of precaution, such permanent resident should take foreign trips not exceeding six months
Q. I am an Asylee as of March 2022. I would like to go visit my family and stay for a month or less.
A: I do not recommend traveling to the country of persecution at any time until you become a US citizen for one simple reason because any travel to the country of persecution as in the Saili or US permanent resident will render that status invalid. You may travel to another country to meet your family members, but not directly to the country of persecution.
Q. Can my cousin have a free immigration lawyer?
A: He is not eligible to have a free legal counsel as that only attaches to criminal cases not administrative immigration proceedings.

He must retain a local immigration counsel without any delay as his future will be permanently affected by removal proceedings.
