Questions about getting Permission to come back to the US

[RivaRich]

Hello every one,

 

Does any one have the idea about how to get the permission to come back to the US?

 

My wife and I will move back to China in the coming january of 2016 because my parents in law are 81 years old and need to be taken good care of. My wife is a green card holder and we probably won't come back to the US for over one year.

 

We heard that we need to get my wife a permission to allow her come back to the US in the future.

 

Our question is:

 

1. How to get the permission for my wife to come back to the US if we leave the country over one year?

 

2. Where to check the related information (web)?

 

3. How long normally it will take to get the permission?

 

Thank you very much for your help!

You are talking about a re-entry permit. This is done by filing an I-131 to USCIS.

 

1) File an I-131 to USCIS fee is $360 + $85 = $445

 

2) http://www.uscis.gov/i-131

 

3) Typically it can take a month or so to process, will also need to do a biometric appointment.
