Questions on USA reentry permit and reapplication?

Question

Hi all,

Happy Holidays!

I have a GC and a reentry permit. My reentry permit expires on Feb 2008.

I left the US on Sept 2006, going back to the Philippines to finish my bachelor's degree. I need a total of 3-4 years to get my degree.
But my Reentry Permit only has 1 year and 5 months left, before it expires.

I am planning to return to the US on Dec 2007 to apply for another reentry.
By then I would have been out of the US for 15 months with a reentry permit.

My question is:
*Can I leave the US right after I apply for a second reentry permit?
without having to wait for approval ?

*Also the fact that I've been away 15 months with the first reentry permit, will it endanger my GC if I leave the US right after I send my second application?

*As a basically jobless student, do I need to file tax for the US?

I have a credit card that my father(also a GC holder) gave me, Public Library Card, DMV I.D., SS Card to show that I have no intention of abandoning GC status

Answer 1

immigration rules are too complex to answer in this type forum. i suggest you call an immigration lawyer for information. a local lawyer should be able to give a consult for little or no charge to answer whatever questions you have. one may even be willing to help you process the work.

Answer 2

you can file you missing tax form when you get home
