Looking at google I found the following... Are you a U.S. citizen or a non-U.S. citizen (green card holder)? Cause that makes a difference. A U.S. citizen to be considered a U.S. expatriate needs to live abroad for MINIMUM 330 days out of any consecutive 12-month period. globaltaxhelp.com A U.S. green card holder can do the same if he does not meet the Substantial Presence Test The substantial presence test: you must be physically present in the U.S. (during a period you do not hold an F, J, M or Q visa) for at least: 31 days during the current year, and 183 days during the 3-year period that includes the current year and the previous two years, counting: ...all of the days you were present in the current year, and ...1/3 of the days you were present in the first preceding year, and ...1/6 of the days you were present in the second preceding year. globaltaxhelp.com At least this is what I gather by doing a search on google.
