Filed GC for kids, but teaveeling every 6 months

[kanthi]

My uncle got GC from EB-1 catagoery, in year 2006. he filed I-130 for his son and daughter who are above age-21. in year 2006, he stayed in USA in year 2006 and 2007. But in 2008 he left India and after that he is visiting USA for every 6 months to maintain his GC status.

1) He filed GC for his wife and she got it, but she didn't entered USA from 2 years.

2) She is under medical treatment in India.

3) Is this 6 months break visitng to USA will make any effect on his son and daughter's GC process. Can they both consider as regular proceesing, though his father is not staying continuously in USA.

A GC holder has to live in the US. It is called "Permanent Residence" for a reason.

It is not and has never been enough to just travel to the US once in a while.

Your uncle likely has abandoned his GC.
