Stryker2018 Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Hello! Need help and guidance with my situation.... I got Family based green card in 2003 through my uncle who sponsored my parents and me. I stayed in US for about a year and had to come back to India to complete my studies and other financial reasons. In 2007, i applied for tourist visa and travelled multiple times to US to visit my uncles family. i have now completed my studies and would like to return to US on resident visa. How do i reinstate my green card if it was abandoned? I had just applied I-90 form and they scheduled my biometric fingerprinting appointment but after reading through some forums i am confused on the process. can someone help and guide on what i should do? Also, how long does the process usually takes? Thanks in Advance! Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 You abandoned the GC and got a visitor visa. That means the GC is gone for good. Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Based on your post, you are not eligible for a returning resident visa. Did you not tell them that you had a GC when applying for the tourist visa in 2007? You should consult a lawyer to make sure that there are no surprises. Quote Link to comment
