I am a U.S. citizen and just got married to a woman who lives in India. I am now sponsoring her for a green card. Can I live with her in India while the case is pending?

Answer

Yes, a U.S. citizen is permitted to live abroad while a family-based green card case is pending, as long as the intent is to return to the U.S. to reside, once the immigrant visa is issued. (13.Mar.2017)
