I am a naturalized U.S. citizen. My father is ill, and I am going to travel back to India to take care of him. I may be gone for an extended period. Do I have to inform the USCIS?

Answer

An extended stay abroad normally would have no impact on one’s status as a U.S. citizen. There is ordinarily no need to notify the USCIS of travel abroad, even if it will be for an extended period. (13.Jul.2023)
