Thank you very much for your reply.
I am sorry that I might have not explained my case clearly.
I still keep my green card and I am not abandoning it because my job in Hong Kong is only a contract offer for 3 years. I plan to come back to the US with a valid green card after the contract .
I believe that as a green card holder, I am required to file tax return the same as a US citizen, which requires to report world-wide income, and may qualify to exclude my foreign earnings (e.g. $120,000 for 2023) [1].
I have done some homework and asked others too, and based on my understanding, your suggestion sounds like I am giving up my green card status after May 31, 2023, to become a dual status Individual so I only need to file the 5 month US income
May I confirm with you that for my case, I don't need to file as a US citizen and no need to report my overseas income, in order to keep my green card valid?
Thank you very much.
Best,
Jake
