    Green Card Restrictions on Traveling Outside of US
    Hi,

    I understand that I can stay outside of the US for 6months or less without having to notify the government (fill out re-entry form.)

    Now, is there a requirement as to how long you have to stay in the US after you return (after being away for 6months or less) before you leave again?

    Thank you!

    If re-entry permit is not filed, you have 12 months but after 6 months it's a risk as immigration officers may assume that you no longer want to reside in US permanently. You status can be revoked at the port of entry.
