Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Re: immigration

Dear Inquirer:

Generally, if a person with a green card leaves the US for more than one year, he has abandoned his green card status. A numbers are issued to people with pending applications or other matters with the USCIS. Having an A number does not necessarily mean the person ever had a green card.

They will still use the same A#.

Re: immigration

They have technically abandoned their green card unless they cn show compelling reasons for not coming back here for 3 years.

Re: immigration

You really should consult an Immigration Attorney. Please send me an email if in Southern California with your contact information and we can discuss your particular facts. There is no fee for consultation.

Re: immigration

If you have an alien registration number already, it's unlikely you would get a different one later on. Whether a person remains a permanent resident after a departure of three years depends on a lot of things. Most times a person would lose such status, but not always. I'd need to ask a bunch of specific questions to find out.
