<p>^both cases sound right because the employment preceded the in-state status, with no immigration issues.</p>
<p>^^re green card – if by precautions, you mean obtaining a reentry permit, having and employer statement saying the overseas job is a temporary assignment, maintaining an address, bank, and tax filings in the US, then yes, you can keep your green card. But if you don’t do those things and go live in you home country for more than six months and work for more than six months, they really can revoke you status, often on the spot at the border. I too am a green card holder, swimcatsmom, and both my lawyer and guidance from ins have made this abundantly clear to me ;)</p>
<p>In the case of this poster, whether or not the family are citizens, green card holders or internationals will make a big difference. If they aren’t citizens but have valid green cards, they might find themselves surprised – as many are – that they’ve fallen out of status on return. If they’re in status, and the mother can transfer or find work, then they’ll ultimately be okay, but may still have to prove no ties (money, property) to umich.
There are a lot of moving parts that all have to move together.</p>
<p>A second issue for the poster if he or she is an international is the fact that only about six percent of the admits go to internationals – far fewer than admits to out of state ( and obviously instate.) my son was very fortunate to have been admitted considering that they considered him an international ;)</p>
