Hi everybody !

My wife (USC) and I are living in Belgium and are thinking to apply for my
residency status. So we are going to fill the application and going trough
the immigration process.
We ar enot planning to move now to the US but try to find an interesting job
there.
We would like to know how many times you need to travel to the US once you
get your reidency ??

PS. : I'm traveling on a B1/B2 visa valid for 10 years.

Thankx a lot

Once you get residency, you are supposed to reside here.
If you don't maintain residency status, you lose it.

Just because you know of an instance of people who are taking a risk and
getting away with it for the time being does not mean that there is no risk.
