I will recieve about 750/mo soc sec if I quit work in four years when I am 62...would like to work ..

Your question is too rambling for me to answer properly. This is the reason however, that you (and many others) should have taken out your US citizenship. My advice is to start the citizenship process immediately. Then File form I-131 which gives you permission to leave the US with a green card for up to a year. This form MUST BE FILED "BEFORE" you leave the US. If you will be gone more than a year, you need to file another I-131 for each year. You can find form I-131 and instructions at: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-131.htm The filing fee is $170.00 US. I welcome any comments others might have on this.
