If I stay in USA and my wife and children in Europe, will the Green card of my wife get out of valid?

Question by SEEEEEEEEEEED: If I stay in USA and my wife and children in Europe, will the Green card of my wife get out of valid?
Again me :)

I and my family are green card winners. I want to go with my family to USA and after 3 months I want to stay in USA and my family goes back to Europe. What will happen to their green card? Will it get out of valid or will it be valid because I will stay permanent in USA?

By the way, is it easy to find a job fast ( I have studied in Europe MBA)?
To answer your question why family should stay in Europe: my parents are very old and need help. My wife can do this. And education for children is cheaper in Europe than in USA:

No. We have a job shortage in the US (just in case you haven’t heard).

    If they are staying out of the US for more than a year without a reentry permit they will lose their greencard. If they manage to get a reentry permit before they leave they can stay out for a maximum of 2 years. It will also affect when they can apply for citizenship if they stay out for more than 6 months.

    Why would you want to live separate from your family anyway? It’s probably not easy to find a job. You probably pretty much will have to move to whereever you can find a job. So it would make more sense to go to the US alone to try to find a job and have your family follow once you found one. I think you have about half a year time to move in order to keep the greencard, but you should check up on this.

    PS: unless you expect that your parents die within the next 2-3 years you will have the same problem then. Sounds like you would be better off not moving to the US unless you want to live separated from your family for the next 5-6 years or longer. If they stay out for more than 2 years they will lose their greencard.
    And it is not realistic to sponsor them before you are a citizen.

    Get a re-entry permit for the family members that are leaving .. that is good to stay out for 2 years …

    Work is difficult the country is in great recession
    Good luck

    I don’t think an MBA is helpful, we have thousands of unemployed MBAs right now. A Master of Science in Engineering is a different story. But who knows, you might have some type of unique skill and experience that none of us know about.

    As far as children, education is free here until college. At that time, you could send them back to Europe on your own if you want.

    Wow, guess you want to have your cake and eat it too, you don’t want to be with your family anymore, isn’t that considered a divorce? Don’t need to help bring up the kids, or be with your wife, why should the family you are giving up, help out your old parents? How would I feel as a wife of a man who wants to live in a different country, send me and the kids home to care for his parents, pretty sure he’s looking for love somewhere else in that country, my kids are abandoned by their father, and because I’m married, have his kids and am stuck dealing with his old parents, whom I’m supposed to care for, so my chances of finding any kind of relationship are nonexistent. I hope the U.S. doesn’t allow this to happen.
