Hi, everybody. I haven't been here much in the past year, since we got the CR visa approved. I was hoping somebody here might be able to answer a question for us.

My husband returned to his home country to visit his father, who is elderly and having serious health issues. While he was there, he decided not to return due to his own health issues, and unfortunately, I am not able to join him there, so we eventually filed for divorce.

Our question is this - if he has already left the country, and doesn't want to try to keep his permanent resident status, what, if anything do we need to do regarding the i-751? He has other family here, and he'd like to return in the future to visit us and them, so we want to do whatever is required to stay in good standing.

Best wishes to all of you, and thanks for any help.

At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." – Alfred D’Souza.

He can officially surrender his GC which will help in any future VWP trips

He can surrender his green card in person at a US consulate abroad. He'll need to have his by green card, (passport), and a completed form I-407 (Abandonment of Lawful Permanent Resident Status) he can request an acknowledgment of the surrender in person to retain and provide when applying for any visa in the future. He can also do it by mail.

Thanks for the info. Great that he can do it by mail. He's not well, and the trip down to the Embassy was going to be difficult for him.
