Hello everyone! I've got a friend who asked me about the following situation: Her husband had a 2 yr conditional green card but they moved overseas together instead of removing conditions. They would like to return to the US now and they want to know what/if he should expect problems getting his visa to move back since he "abandon" his green card once?! They have a USC child together. They had intentions of staying overseas, but have since decided that they want to return to the US. I'm not sure about this, so I'm asking yall for any input. Thanks!

How long they have been in abroad? He is required to give an advance notice in USA, in case if he is out of USA for a longer period.

They have been out of the US for 2 years now. They know that they have to start the process over, she was wondering if there would be any "issues" when they reapply?

They have to start over--too bad they didn't think it through

They are prepared for this process, again. Do you think that they will face any questions/problems because they didn't think this through before moving back overseas?

No issues.

On the contrary. Since they are still married and have moved to Italy and lived there together their relationship is bona fide, fully documented. Should be a walk in the park to get that 10-year Green Card.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
