Hello,
I have been out of the US since 2011 but usually return once or twice a year and never got questioned about why I stayed away for that period of time. However, my last entrance was in January 28th, 2014 and I only stayed for 11 days.
I called an immigration lawyer and he scared the cr** out of me. He told me I was supposed to have applied for a re-entry permit and now that it has been almost 18 months away I might have GC revoked. He told me I was quite lucky those times I entered the US but now things have changed since I stayed longer than 1 year.
My questions are: Has anyone gone through the same situation? I mean, did you ever spend more than 18 months away from the US? Did the USCIS let you in? Did they send you to a judge? what can happen and what are my changes of getting away with it?
Honestly, I have researched a lot and still didn't find anyone in my situation that has given a feedback on whether they were allowed in or not.
Please help me out!!!
