DIAGNOSED WITH BRAIN CA, NEED TO GO SEE HER SON IN ANOTHER COUNTRY WITH EXPIRED GC

[Hypnos 6,576]

I believe many (all?) field offices will want to see an I-90 NoA before they will give an I-551 passport stamp.

Can she get a I 551 without first applying to renew her GC?

I believe you have to show the NOA to get the stamp (ie not at discretion of the field office). I guess that’s to prevent people just getting stamps rather than filing/paying for a new GC.

- HUSBAND CITIZEN

- PATIENT IS 10 years GREENCARD HOLDER (EXPIRED CARD) 

 

SOLUTIONS WOULD BE?

 

1. Infopass have her passport stamped?? Coz somebody said its also 1 year extension and travel approval?is that correct?

 

2. N400, so biometrics and interview then oath , then she can go home? How long would that be? Like 6- 12 months?

 

3. Renewal? How long? 

 

All she wants is to see her eldest son before she passes. 

 

Another question..

Eldest is about maybe 35 to 40 years old with kids and wife. He was petitoned when when he turned 21 thats why he's still there. 

 

Is his petition status still active? Of all the 5 siblings, he's the only one left.

The person still maintains status.....The person is still a legal resident........

"A common misconception is that when a green card expires, that person’s protections as a lawful permanent resident also expire. The benefits of having a green card (such as being able to return to the United States after brief periods of international travel, and having current proof of the ability to work) may terminate when a card expires. However, one does not simply lose the status of being a lawful permanent resident when the card expires."

Thanks! Very interesting but nothing should surprise me anymore.

I answered both these in a previous post.

Most likely, depending on how busy /nice they sure they won't let them in without an appointment letter.

They might refuse until she submits an I-90.

Her USC husband sponsored.

Incorrect. His F3 process is still active because the US citizen father filed the I-130.

If and it’s a big “if”. I depends on the Embassy/Consulate.

 

There was a case of a Vietnamese mother/daugher the year before that made big headlines, at least in the Vietnamese community. The daughter in that case was in the US, immigrated since 2003. She was suddenly diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and was given only few weeks to live. Her dying wish was to see her mother one last time. They denied the mother’s visa twice. It was all over the Vietnamese news networks both in Vietnam and in the US. The Vietnamese Foreign Ministry and  US Representative Zoe Lofgren of California personally got involved and she called  and wrote a letter to Trump. Eventually the Consulate had to cave under pressure and gave her a visa.

 

I’m just saying, you might have that kind of a flight ahead.

 

P.S: I might add, the daughter in that case became a citizen in 2010 and was eligible to petition her mother but the mother never had any intention to immigrate to the US so she never filed anything.
