DAD LEFT THE US BEFORE HIS GREEN CARD ARRIVES

[teejay20 0]

I'M A NATURALIZED CITIZIEN, I PROCESSED 1 130 FOR MY MUM AND DAD. MY MUM'S GREEN CARD ARRIVED ON TIME. MY DAD'S DID NOT. MY DAD HAD TO GO BACK HOME, SO WE THOUGHT MY MUM WOULD TAKE IT TO HIM WHEN THE CARD ARRIVES LATER. I CALLED IMMIGRATION LAST WEEK AND THEY SAID THEY ALREADY MAILED THE CARD. IT'S BEEN OVER A MONTH SINCE THEY MAILED IT AND WE STILL HAVENT RECIEVED IT. NOW THEY SAID MY PARENT HAS TO COME FOR ANOTHER BIOMETRICS AND APPLY FOR A REPLACEMENT GREEN CARD. SO WHAT DO I DO, HE'S NOT IN THE

COUNTRY ANYMORE AND THERE'S NOT WAY FOR HIM TO COME BACK. I'M LOST AND CONFUSED. PLS HELP. THANKS!

Did your Dad enter the USA on a IR5 visa, if he did then that acts as a temp greencard and is valid for 12 months from the date he first entered. That is all he would need to get back into the US.

In the event what Tay indicated is somehow not the situation:

If your green card has been lost, stolen, expired or non-receipt of your Alien Registration Receipt Card ("green card"), you may be able to obtain a transportation letter. A U.S. Consular Officer must be satisfied that you hold legal permanent resident status in the United States. A personal interview is required.
