    Default Traveling with Conditional Greencard

    Hi,
    I acquired conditional greencard through marriage about two months ago.
    I just got a job offer to work in Japan for 6 month to one year. What should I do?

    I searched and found that I need to file I-131 for Re-entry visa. Is it true? How long does it take it to get it?

    During the 6 mo - 1 yr of my job in Japan, can i visit US or should I have to stay until the end of my job and use the re-entry visa to enter?

    Thanks for help in advance!!!

    You will want to apply for travel authorization and a reentry permit before you travel. (Ideally you'll also have it granted before you travel, so you can be confident about returning; but you must apply from within the U.S.) It will likely take about three months. You can check current processing times here.

    You should also maintain the U.S. as your tax residence, and file a U.S. tax return for your period in Japan.

    Thank you!!!!

    So, the re-entry visa is needed when I return after 6mo-1yr, right? traveling international while I've applied for I-131 should be no problem, right? Thank you in advance!!!!!
