I need some advice for my situation. My wife and I have been married almost 2 years and she got her CR1 15 months ago. We both still live in China as my job is here for the foreseeable future. I have worked as Chief Engineer for a Chinese company for 7 years and lived here for 4 years. We both travel to China together every 6 months or so and stay 2 to 3 weeks each time. I maintain Domicile in the US with bank accounts, parents address (where we also stay), drivers license, Life Insurance (she is beneficiary) and so forth. No property in either country aside from a car in each. Until this week, I thought this was the "right thing" to do for her to maintain her LPR status. However, last week she was talking to a man that was just popped by INS going back to the US after 5 months who warned him that he would lose his card if he didn't stay in the US more. After researching this some, and reading some postings here I have come to the conclusion that we might have trouble!!! Especially because she is still CR1 and not IR1. I tried contacting USCIS here in Guangzhou and they referred me to the IV unit. The IV unit only told me how to enter the US the first time (which she did last year). In other words, dead end and no help!! So the questions are: 1) I am considering filing a Re-entry permit when we are there next month. With her still being conditional, I am wondering if this is just delaying the inevitable and they will deny the removal or conditions next year and she loses LPR. Any ideas? 2) Can anyone recommend a good immigration lawyer I can talk to? 3) If she were to lose her LPR status, how difficult would it be for her to travel with me on a Tourist Visa? We went the I-130 route because she couldn't get one before. The Visa officer told me this was because we were married and that makes it too strong that she intends to immigrate. If she loses the CR1 due to not immigrating, does this make a case that she doesn't intend to (for now). 4) Once LPR is lost, can it really be regained? I know in theory it can be, but does it actually happen in practice? Thanks in Advance!!! Steve
