Reentry Permit Fees For Philippines: Fill & Download for Free

Requirement: a high school diploma.If you are a green card holder from any country, you may leave the United States for up to less than a year; staying longer (6 months to 364 days) may subject you to additional questioning by the USCIS upon reentry (you won’t need a reentry permit provided you were away less than a year). This will allow you to study anywhere abroad as long as you return to US soil within the timeframe stated. Since you are a fairly recent immigrant (I deduce this from your sentence construction and your use of certain terms a native speaker would not), I assume you have lost neither your accent nor original citizenship. This will help decrease the number of potential uncomfortable questions that may arise regarding your status. You may then apply into any program at any school in your country of origin, seeing as you still hold citizenship there. I don’t think the immigration authorities nor school authorities in the Philippines would nitpick about your pending citizenship nor demand an ACR (which may open a can of worms because most countries charge higher matriculation fees from non-citizens). Nor is holding credentials from an American school a deterrent: thousands of non-citizens attend high school in the US for one reason or another.But since you are presently in the United States, and a green card holder, wouldn’t the idea of studying in a country classified as an Emerging Economy be defeating the purpose of immigrating in the first place? Families usually emigrate to seek an improvement in quality of life, job opportunities, and education. Except for a select few, a university degree from a non-OECD country, (despite the university’s ranking in the THE and QS) does not hold as much ooomph as a community college in the US (sorry! please see asterisk below).* Now, if cost were an issue, and you would prefer to avoid the student-debt trap, there are always Caribbean and excellent South American schools, all at far less cost than a Mainland education (The Philippines shares much linguistic and cultural similarities with Latin America, yes?). I understand cost of living is a consideration but factor in travel costs & frequency, and the hassle of filling out all those forms and questioning by CIS agents. Just. No.Hope this helps.*Please understand I am in no way denigrating foreign universities because I know the best universities in each country have excellent, highly-dedicated, outstanding, internationally-recognized faculty, and many of these prestigious, reputable schools have been in existence for hundreds of years. And a significant number of graduates from non-American, non-OECD countries make an immeasurable positive contribution to American economics, academe, and health care. As mentioned, I’d endorse Caribbean and South American universities. The sad truth is, potential employers/HR personnel in the US don’t always know this. Further, “select few” may include up to 10 universities. Just raking the sand behind me there.
