Odessa, FL asked in Immigration Law for Florida

Q: An airport officer told me if I apply for a Re-entry permit it will cover my wife/family members. Is this true?

I may have to be out of the country for work purposes for more than six months. It was suggested that I get a Re-entry permit and at the airport an officer told me the permit applies to all my family members. My wife and I have green cards since 2002 and have never left the US for more than a month. I want to apply for citizenship but may now have to be out of the country temporarily for work purposes. I would like my wife to come with me.
