I need expert advice on my situation.
Me and family (wife & two kids) are green card holders. I landed in USA (on last week of Dec 2016) on family based immigration status and after 10 days (on first week of January 2017) I left US and came back to my home country due to personal matters and finishing things at home: like to complete my children's school term, asset disposal/sell etc.
I have heard that there is restriction/rule that GC holders must have to go back US with in 180 days. Unfortunately, in my case, 5 months have been passed since my departure from US soil and still I need 2 more months to finish things at home.
Will it be any problem if I go to USA in 7th month or after 200 days (rather within 180 days). Will Immigration Officer stop me to enter in USA ? What would be the complication and associated risk and penalties , if any ? I am told that if I stays more than 180 days outside I will have issue at the port of entry in US when I come back.
Please guide me. I am very confused on it.
