2. Probaly the bank that you use now and know you already, that way you can talk to them by phone at any time in case of errors or mistakes.
3. Ireland and the U.S have an agreement re
social security payments etc....
If you are not yet retired your money in the U.S.
is like normal and safe until you apply.
4. If you are not a US citizen and leave the country to take up permanent residence, you can lose your green card. It used to be for 364 days only, and you could re enter back and forward. However it was 6 months and recently people have been told that as long as they move on a permanet basis it can be taken. You can file for an extended visit with the U.S Immigration Dept. best to contact your local office before you leave and clarify the rules.
You must also continue to file US taxes after you leave on a yearly basis, failure to do so again if only a green card holder can hinder your re entry at a later date...
As I am not an immigration attorney, not 100% sure of all my answers, but check in advance, rather than later, so to avoid any headaches down the road.
If your other half was a citizen, they can apply for you and sponser you at a later date if you wanted to return back to the U.S......
