Hello:

You son is a legal permanent resident of the United States, however he has not returned to the US in the last 3 years.

Legal permanent residency assumes a continuous presence in the United States. Your son can visit the US, but given the facts an immigration officer may assume that your son abandoned his residency.

It may not happened but it is a possibility and your son will have to demonstrate otherwise.

Let me know if you need more help.

Sincerely,

Annick Koloko, Esq.
