Hello, I had my permanent resident card which expired October 21/11 which was a little over a year ago. I left America because me and my American husband were headed for a divorce and I needed my family. I've got a son now which I don't know how relevant it is but wish to come live in America again with him. What would I have to do?

I wonder if there is a reinstatement policy?

I'm not sure but I think you may need to go through the green card process again. (maybe) I would like to sit back and watch the answers come in. This is an interesting question.

*** Moving from AOS to TRavelling during US immigration forum ****

The only way (assuming you are divorced from the ex now) is to try for a Returning Resident visa (SB-1), but I think your chances are slim.

It was only a two year conditional one. I wasn't removed I left early because me and my husband had a let of issues which escalated. Cops were involved. Though I want to return I love America.

Not going to happen.

Your husband would have to start the immigration process all over and eventually you'd get an IR-1 visa.

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.

The question was if you removed the conditions of your 2-year green card (to get the 10 year one), not if you have been deported/removed from the US.

If you had removed the conditions, you would now have 10-year green card. But you didn't/couldn't do it, so you were left with nothing.

You left without removing the condition on your green card. Your status ended upon expiration and there is no way to get it back.

There is no way for you to live in the US through your son until after he turns 21. A US citizen under age 21 cannot petitions a parent, and thus is not an path to the US for you until after he turns 21.

The only family ties that allows you to live in the US soon is your US citizen husband. He would have to file for a spousal visa.

That's if her son is a USC. She didn't state he was or had claim to it. She didn't state she was still with the USC ex/husband nor state it was his child.

You want to come and live in the US with your son. Are you divorced from your USC husband? You said "headed for a divorce" but didn't state if you were or not.

Your greencard is expired. It's was a 2 year conditional card so you have no status in the US. The only way to return soon would be a work visa, or student visa, or if you ever meet and marry another USC (or if you're still married to your USC husband and he would petition you).

My son is Canadian born. Me and my ex husband are not divorced yet it took a lot to convince him to even do it. Though I've known one of my closest best friends for 3 years while I lived there and we became more. If I had sole custody of my son and his father agreed to me moving what would I have to do?
