   Answered January 29, 2013 08:34. I think the most important question is how long have you been in India. If you have been outside the United States more than one year, US Customs and Border Patrol will try to say that you abandoned your permanent residence if you try to re-enter. Having said that, you should gather all documentation to indicate why you were abroad and how you did not intend to abandon your residence. I highly recommend that you hire an attorney to walk you through this process of re-entering with your current greencard, or certainly in renewing the SB-1 visa.
   Best of luck.

Mr. Murray's response was generated without conducting a full inquiry as would occur during a face to face attorney-client consultation. It is likely that the response above may be made less accurate, or become entirely inaccurate, as you, i.e. the questioner, disclose additional facts that should only be discussed during a private consultation with an attorney. I strongly recommend that you consult an attorney who is licensed to practice law in your state (or, in the case of immigration law, and attorney in ANY state), whereupon all relevant facts will be discussed. All responses posted by Mr. Murray on Avvo.com are intended as general information for the education of the public, and not for any specific individual. less
