Q: I'm a greed card holder who would like to apply for a reentry permit to have my college education in the Philippines.
Since I am a minor (17 years old) and not used to being alone, I would also like my mother who is also a greencard holder to accompany me for the meantime in the Philippines. She will be filing a reentry permit too. Will this be acceptable?
A: Yes. She can use form I-131 to reapply for a Re-Entry Permit. This will allow her to remain outside the US for up to 2 years without losing her permanent resident status.
A: Probably. It depends at least in part on how long you plan to study abroad. It also depends on what ties you keep to the US. We strongly recommend speaking with an immigration attorney who can advise based on your specific circumstances.
