Hi,
I am a green card holder since 2006. I need to be in India for the next 2 years to take care of my aged parent. I have an approved re-entry permit which is valid for the next 2 years. I am planning to take up a job while I am in India for the next 2 years. This is essential since I will need to support myself while in India plus I do not want to be unemployed and loose my skills during this period. Will taking up a job in India cause any problems as far as retaining my green card is concerned when I plan to eventually return to the US after 2 years? I will be maintaining ties to the US while I am in India like my bank account, mailing address (P.O. Box) and also pay my taxes.
Also, instead of staying continuously for 2 years outside the US, would it be better to make a short trip back to the US before the end of 1 year outside (although I have a valid re-entry permit)?
Thanks in advance
