Hi, my close friend had a big painful day last week when his and his wife's DS-117 application was not approved. He came to India in Mid 2019 and their Re-Entry Permits lapsed in June 2020. He is 66 yrs old and having chronic ailments since more than 15 years. They filed DS-117 application for getting SB-1 visa to return to USA, but it was not approved. In their DS-117, he had trully mentioned hisa 9 months of working in India as a online consultant from home only. They have been maintaining our GCs for more than 17 years. IThough they frequently came to India, but after getting Re-Entry permits every time. They have always been filing U.S Tax Returns. Own a residential plot to construct their own house in USA. Maintaining Credit Cards, own bank account, U.S Driving Licenses, and their own leased accomodation in USA. In begining of this year , he got my Medicare Card also after completing the required minimum Quaterly Earnings. W.E.F 2022 begining, he is entiled for Social Security benefts. His both children are very young students and PERMAMNENT residents too. Does it mean that their GCs have been cancelled now? Whether his Social Security Pensions also will not be given to him? What are available options for them now. They are in traumatic situation. Because, if they dont go back, their children will discontinue to stay there. Secondly, just for my personal awareness, I will appreciate advice on "Whether U.S GC holders can never work in India (even for short term online consultancy offer got through Linkedin call). I am sure, 100s of GC holders might be working on transfer; after getting laid off ; for betterremunerative services, doing bunessess etc. Does Re-Entry Permit, do not satisfy the requirements/intewntions of "not abundonning the U.S residency"? Any advice (even partly) on their problems will be deeply appreciated.

Many applications such as Naturalisation Application N-400 and Returning Resident Visa Application require Complete Past Record of Arrival & Departure (ever since you became permanent resident (Green Card). It is not possible for me to trace this record for more than 20 years. Can someone advise , whether 20 years record would suffice.

My Re-Entry permit (I-131) was approved and mailed to me by USCIS (they gave the tracking number). But it was lost in the mail. I know the validity date of the Re-Entry Permit. I have the Approval Letter (Notice of Action) from USCIS specifying the approval and Validity Date of the Re-Entry Permit mailed to me by USCIS. Kindly guide me whether Airline and POE Officer will consider this approval letter in place of my lost (but actually delivered by USCIS) Re-Entry permit?
