Заранее спасибо за ответы. Я понимаю, что подобные вопросы уже звучали на форуме, но хотелось бы знать наверняка.

Eto zavisit.

Достаточно ли штампа в паспорте?

Kak dokument - da. Kak dokazatel'stvo togo, chto vy ne utratili GC za dlitel'noe otsutstvie - net. V etom sluchae i plastikovaia GC vas ne spaset.

2. Могут ли его родители переправить мне грин кард после получения ее по почте?

Da.

3. Как долго я могу пробыть вне США - 6 месяцев?

Esli vy probudete vne USA bolee 180 dnei (6 mesiacev - eto nemnogo bol'she), to na v'ezde vam pridetsia dokazyvat', chto vashe otsutstvie bylo vremennym. Eto budet neprosto, i skoree vsego vasha GC propadet.
Esli vy vernetes' do 180 dnei, to vse budet OK. Odnako, esli podobnuiu operaciu vy primenite 3-4 raza (t.e. korotkii v'ezda na 1-2 nedeli i dlitel'noe otsutstvie v 170 dnei), to vas ne vpustiat.

V liubom sluchae esli vy uteriaete GC, vy legko poluchite zanovo immigracionnuiu vizu, pol'zuias' uje poluchennym approvalom na I-130. Vse na osnovanii togo, chto vash muj - grajdanin USA.
Vam tol'ko pridetsia zanovo zaplatit' $335 za novuiu vizu.

Ne zabyvaite, chto GC holder obiazan oformliat' tax return s dohodov po vsemu miru. Nevypolnenie etogo trebovania samo po sebe vlechet utratu GC.

Tak vse zhe etot predel 180 dnei ili 6 mesyatsev?

180 dnei. A ne 6 mesiacev.

A liudi mogut ispol'zivat' povtorno I140 ili net. predpolozhim situatsia: cheloveku sdealil labor certification, I140 i on poluchil green card, dalee uehal za granitsu i poteryal green card - esli tazhe rabota, na kotoruiu delali labor, vse eshe ostalas' - mozhet li on sdelat' novuiu green card ispolzuya staruiu I140?

A esli I140 bila EB1, green card bila uteryana vsvyazi s long absense, to mozhno opyat' ee poluchit ispolzuya staruiu I140?

>A esli I140 bila EB1, green card bila uteryana vsvyazi s long absense, to mozhno opyat' ee poluchit ispolzuya staruiu I140?

Da.

>Samoe glavnoe: a mozhno ssilochki ili hotya bit "hints" gde eto delo mozhno pokopat'. Ya slishal chto once I140 has been used for green card - it is gone, you have to get a new one...

Zdes' peticia I-140 pochemu-to nazvana vizoi, hotia eto ne viza, a peticia. No ona deistvitel'no godna bez ogranichenia sroka. Kak i peticii I-130 i I-360.

Ia nadeius', vy horosho ponimaete, chto esli v zakone nigde ne napisano, chto peticia, po kotoroi uje poluchena GC, bol'she ne godna, eto znachit, chto ona godna. Potomu chto rabotnik INS ili konsul'stva ne mojet sam vydumyvat' prichiny dlia otkaza. On mojet lish' brat' suscestvuiuscie prichiny.

Odnako, ia nashel oficial'nuiu ssylku

9 FAM 42.42 N4 Employment Preference
(TL:VISA-170; 10-01-1997)
Unless an application is terminated pursuant to INA 203(g) [see 9 FAM 42.83 Notes and 9 FAM 42.83 Procedural Notes] or is revoked under 8 CFR 205.1, the approval of an employment preference petition based on an approved labor certification is valid indefinitely until the alien immigrates or adjusts status.

Chestno govoria, eto dlia menia neojidannost'.
V tom je faile opisany pravila dlia drugih peticii I-130 i I-360. Tam takogo ogranichenia net. Eto ogranichenie - o povtronom ispol'zovanii posle AOS ili admission po immigracionnoi vize - est' tol'ko na I-140.

Tem ne menee, esli vy poluchili approval peticii I-140 bez labor certification (po kategorii EB21 [exceptional abilities] s NIW ili po kategorii EB1 [EB11 extraordinary abilities, EB12 outstanding professor or researcher ili EB13 multinational manager or executive]), to predyduscaia citata ne mojet byt' primenena - tam razgovor idet chetko ob approvale I-140, bazirovannoi na labor certification.

Kakie je imenno primeniaiutsia pravila v etom sluchae - zagadka dlia menia. V otsutstvii ukazanii ogranichenii sroka, v techenie kotorogo peticia I-140 bez labor certification deistvitel'na, logichno predpolojit', chto peticia deistvitel'na bez ogranichenia sroka. I pravilo o ee terminirovanii v sluchae uspeshno svershivsheisia immigracii ili AOS ne deistvuet, kak v sluchae s labor certification.
