I've had GC for 4 years. In August 2010, it will be 5 years. I'll have something like 880 days out of US during that 5 years.
It's a lot, but I think I still make it as far as the physical presence requirement goes. But I do have several back-to-back trips lasting 5+ months each. The longest one was 179 days.
So I think I'm OK as far as not hitting the 6 month per trip limit of continuous presence. But I guess it will still raise questions. I'm planning to stay in the US until August 2010 and apply for citizenship.
Would it be possible that I'm not only denied the citizenship (based solely on my long trips), but also my GC gets revoked because of that in the same ruling? I have a business in the US with active bank accounts (and activity didn't stop during my trips out of the country), and I filed taxes as resident throughout that whole time. But I don't have leases/mortgage payments during those months.
Would showing my business activity be enough to take care of questions about ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
