im a nonimmigrant working in the US (hoping to get greencard through employment eventually) and just got back from my home country after running out of my visa. since i was out of the US for 3 months, i decided to be terminated instead of being on leave (i didnt have enough leave credits anyway), so I took out whatever money i had in my 401k.
there's a possibility that i could return home again by the end of this year if DOL doesnt certify my application, so im asking. should i sign up for the 401k again and take it out again by the end of the year? or should i waive it and save the money? i could be out of US for at least 6 months, so i'm also worried about the impact all the 401k/withdrawal will have on my tax returns. do i still pay the US tax returns when im out of my job by end of december this year if the DOL denies my application?
