Faustino Mellerson: How could you keep your green card without living in the US, just "visiting every few years?" A green card is automatically deemed abandoned if you spend more than 12 months outside the US. To be eligible for citizenship, you must actually reside in the US for at least 5 years. It seems you have not completed residency requirements, and are not eligible to apply for citizenship.Have you filed US income tax returns and paid US income taxes on worldwide income from all sources every year? All US persons - which includes not only citizens, but also all green card holders, all those staying in US on various types of visas, and all persons with any US income - are subject to US income tax laws. If you have not filed and paid US taxes, you are in serious difficulties with the IRS for failure to file returns, failure to pay taxes, failure to complete annual reporting of all foreign financial accounts (including bank accounts outside the US), possibly tax! fraud as well. If you have not been filing, paying, etc, as required, you get your butt out of the US & keep it out or face likely criminal prosecution. That means you could never get US citizenship, any green card would be revoked, and once you got of federal prison, you would be deported and permanently barred from reentry.It looks like you should stay out of the US forever. You are probably in such serious legal difficulties with both immigration and tax authorities that you need to forget so much as a visit to the US....Show more

Florencio Dingle: Don't ever lie.. if you lea! ve the United States for 1 year or more, you have disrupted yo! ur continuous residence. This is true even if you have a Re-entry Permit. If you leave the country for 1 year or longer, you may be eligible to re-enter as a Permanent Resident if you have a Re-entry Permit. But none of the time you were in the United States before you left the country counts toward your time in continuous residence.If you return within 2 years, some of your time out of the country does count. In fact, the last 364 days of your time out of the country (1 year minus 1 day) counts toward meeting your continuous residence requirement.If you leave the United States for more than 6 months, but less than 1 year, you have broken or disrupted your continuous residence unless you can prove otherwise....Show more
Carmina Stickney: Doubtful your green card is even valid anymore. A green card is for living in the US, not in another country and coming here every few years.Since you have been out of the country for so long, you aren't eligible for citizenship. You ! have to have 5 years of continuous stay in the US to be able to get citizenship.If you lie, you will lose your green card forever and can be charged with fraud. Of course they know when you have traveled, there is a new invention called the computer that keeps track of all that....Show more
