I got my green card last year - could I spend some time abroad (2-3 months) without the risk of it being seen as abandonment? In those 2-3 months could I work abroad?

Has anyone done this for a similar timeframe or longer on a green card and still been ok coming back and applying for citizenship when the time comes?

Up to 6 months but I wouldn’t do it regularly. Also money earned outside USA will be taxed in the USA. I’d look into FACTA implications for your case

The most important immigration-related thing I wish people had told me earlier:

If you have an advanced degree (MS, PhD), you might be able to self-sponsor for a greencard. Look into the EB2-NIW / EB1 categories.

I’ve had an incredible experience working with Chen Immigration Law (WeGreened). They will give you a free consultation, and if they think your case is strong, they might agree to an approval or refund setup in which they return your lawyer fees if you get rejected.

Use them.
