I was living in the US with my Dad and had a green card, my Dad is a US Citizen and has been living there for more than 30 years (even before my birth), I came back to my country India and have been here for more than 15 years.

Now i wish to go back to the US, being unmarried and having had a green card (now expired) in the past what will be the quickest way to get a green card?

Apply for a new one under the unmarried Daughter (above 21 years)category ?

or

Apply for a renewal?

What will be the tentative timelines for either of them to provide me the green card or is there another faster way?

Thanks in advance

P.S: Posting for my Fiancee

there is no renewal, her father has to file and start all over again. the wait is more than 5 years. and if you marry, more than 8 years.

this happened to me too. I had a GC when I was a child, my dad died and my mom decided to go back to our country. I lived 25 years in my country.

My mom returned to US years later and became a US citizen. I had to wait in line just like anyone else. My wait for unmarried child over 21 of a USC was more than 5 years. I was able to adjust status in the US because I came in 1999 and the 245i law came out.

The only difference is that in the i130 and all paperwork, she has to put the A# and social security number if she had one.

the number will be the same. they give you one number for the rest of your life.

if you are a USC, then you should file for her.
