Based on the experience of certain family members, I believe you have to live in the U.S. for a certain amount of time every year (I think at least 6 months/year). I think you can seek an exception occasionally (there’s a formal process for this), but if you seek exceptions too often, they may consider your status abandoned. I’m not an immigration lawyer, but have heard family members talk about their situation.

You can apply a re-entry permit that will allow you to stay out of US for 2 years..

Couple things:
1. The decision of working from outside the US also depends on if the employer is willing to let you work.

2. You would have to stay within the US more than the other country in one calendar year. If the CBP notices this when you enter the US, you will be in trouble so as others said look into re-entry permit

S1:
What do you mean not true? So you mean to stay a GC holder aka a permanent resident can stay outside the US for however long he/she wants? Doesn’t that go against the whole meaning of permanent residency?

You could residency if youre out of the country . Residency is based on which coubtry you stay most of the year. There are few exceptions so consult a legal professional if you would intend to stay outside longer than 6 months in a year, regardless if continously or not.

Hey all! after many years abroad I've taken the crazy decision to try and move back to Italy. I'm in contact with a couple of international companies (from startups to enterprise) that may be willing to hire me for a Customer Success Manager remote role based in Italy even though they do not have an entity in Italy. I'm looking for insights / personal experiences from people that may be in a similar position. The biggest doubt is if it's viable to manage it via a B2B (partita Iva) agreement.

Had only one call with my TL in first two months. Few weeks later, on workday I noticed that my TL got reassigned. Contacted him and have setup regular catch-ups. He dropped a bomb that he is leaving and I will be reporting to partner. Partner is time poor and no feedback is offered. This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC
