Hi,
A couple months ago I received my employment based Green Card after working for the same company for almost 6 years. However, unfortunately, soon after I have learned that my mother who is in my birth country has cancer and I will have to support her and unofficially take over some of her work responsibilities as a small business owner as she undergoes treatment.
I quit my job (something I was intending to do anyway due to poor treatment), and intended to get a re-entry permit and stay abroad as long as necessary, but my mother wishes that I do not delay my naturalization by doing so. So my current plan is to visit her for as long as I can without endangering my permanent residence and continuous residence for naturalization purposes.
My ideal case would be:
Stay outside the US for slightly less than 6 months, giving USCIS the address of an acquaintance so that I do not waste money on renting while I'm gone.
Come back and reside in the US for the rest of the year, either via a short term rental or Airbnb-like stay while I do remote freelance work, until I'm eligible for another stay abroad.
Repeat as many times as necessary.
I do have US bank accounts, and a State ID, and have been living in the States first as a student, then as a worker, since 2010.
How feasible is this ideal case? Will it raise suspicion wrt my intentions to reside in the US? I genuinely do want to stay of course, but I cannot ignore my parents in their time of need as well.
