Thank you very much for your response.
My follow-up question would be on what is considered a "temporary absence". The apprenticeship / trade school she is attending will officially end in February 2025 when she will be awarded an official certificate of completion. She may or may not return to the U.S. after the apprenticeship is completed. Would it be sufficient to establish a temporary absence on this basis of her mere intent to return to the U.S. for college thereafter? Or are there hard criteria to establish a temporary absence?
Thanks again.
