Be aware that you will need to be able to support him in the US. The big cost item there is usually healthcare / medical insurance.

Oh, I thought you meant he abandoned the green card and wants to come back ("I would like to assist him in getting his green card back").

 

If he's been living in the US as an LPR already, he just needs to file an I-90 to get a replacement / updated green card.

Yes. LPR status is not attached directly to the card. The card is just proof of legal / LPR status (and is used for employment, travel abroad, etc.).

Filing taxes is an IRS issue. However, if he was required to file then that could be an issue for naturalization. If he wasn't required to file (i.e. no income / income below the IRS thresholds), then there's nothing to worry about.

As I seen your father has been living here for 24 years. His green card expired over 10 years ago. Good news is, only the card expired. His status never did. He can apply for a green card replacement. I would see if he is interested to apply for citizenship after that, that way he closes his immigration door once and for all.

If your father's passport expired 10 years ago, would he lost his citizenship because of it?

There you go.

For the same reason your dad didn't lose his status as a LPR just because his Green Card expired 10 years ago. There are thousands of Green Card holders who wait with renewing their card 'til they really need it. They really need it if they either (1) want to travel internationally or (2) have to go to the USCIS. For all other purposes -- work included -- the Green Card is not needed.

There's no punishment for filing late, so all he has to do is file an I-90 for a new 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.
