Hello good day! I want to ask if someone has experience here, stayed more than 180 days in other country and didnt  received green card but have her passport stamp. can you still re-enter united states? My mother in-law has an issue about this coz she has her medical reason that's why she stayed for more than 180 days in our country. (Philippines) she didnt receive her Green Card because they send it to other address/house. That’s why we request again her NEW CARD, but USCIS needs her Biometrics but she still in the philippines. She has a passport stamp.

If you mean the endorsed stamp on the immigrant visa, yes. If you read the small print at the bottom of the visa it says it’s valid for a year. Prepare for her to get to the airport early, because some airline personnel don’t understand this (all they see is an expired visa) so she may need to get someone more senior who understands the various stamps LPRs can enter with.

 

separately, if she already  filed an i90 for the replacement GC but didn’t show for biometrics, her application has been considered abandoned and she’ll have to start again when she gets there.
