Q: Can i go back to my country to study college while waiting for my green card here in US?
btw im from the philippines
A:
Much more information is needed. How did you enter the U. S.? Have you overstayed your entry card? Have you filed for adjustment of status?
I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before there are any other complications. Good luck.
A:
Additional information is important.
If you are waiting on a green card through marriage and want to live apart from you spouse for an extended period of time this will raise a question as to whether your marriage is a valid marriage.
You must maintain a permanent residence in the USA while you are a student overseas. Permanent Resident means what it says.
You can apply for a re entry permit if you plan to be away for an extended period of time.
