Re-Entry Permit Questions

[immihelp]

Hi there,

I have 3 questions about re-entry permit. I have a green card, and since it's been tough finding jobs in my area in the US (advertising - layoffs and hiring freezes everywhere), I'm starting to look abroad. So I understand I'd have to work for a company which more than 50% of its stocks must be owned by an american company.

Does this mean that this company needs to be public? Also, some of the potential companies abroad are under a holding company. If their company's holding company is American, does that make it Ok? And finally, if the company is American, but the holding company is not.

Thank you.

It does not matter whether you work for American company or any other company. If you are outside USA, that time is considered outside US. There is no credit for American owned company.

Thanks, but that's not what you say on:

I quote "...Also, more than 50% of the company's stock has to be owned by an American firm or corporation.."

I guess I should have mentioned that I will apply for citizenship in 1.5
years.

Thanks

That is mainly if you are employed here and that company transfers you
somewhere.
