I looked up my notes on this topic with my lawyer. She told me you
have to keep residency here, your move abroad should be temporary in
character. Hence, keep properties, bank accounts here, file taxes as
resident. She also said to have no problems you should re-enter the
US more frequently than every 6 months or you should get a re-entry
permit (valid for a 1 year)
