I agree, I won't lie. So the last question : filing the i-407 at a port of entry is a perfectly normal and legal way. Being still recorded as a LPR, I can't apply for an ESTA or a visa untill the abandonment of status is recorded (take months and the trip was not planed), seems logical, in theory a double status (resident/visitor) is incoherent, even if that happens sometimes. Then, filing a i-193 or being paroled (for a short visit) would be accepted ?

Hello everyone, I'm French, married to a US citizen, got a K1 visa in 2018, got married quicly and got a conditional 2 year GC a few months later, applied for removal condition in 2021 and got my 10 year GC in may 2024 without interview, but nobody knows (I was in France then). I'm still married but the problem is that we finally couldn't maintain our US residence and moved to France in 2021. We have to go to the US next week for family reasons but just for a short visit (20 days), absolutely not to move back to the US, we have our return ticket. I already traveled back and forth from US to France with my first GC, at the arrival the only simple question they asked was "how long have you been outside the US ?", it was 2 weeks, 4 months... then they just stamped my passport and "welcome back" without checking anything more. When I will be at the CPB desk shall I try to lie if they ask the same question (I`m very very reluctant) ? Is it easy for them to check my past trips (I don't know what they have on their screen). Otherwise I`m ready to volonteerly file the i-407 form, no problem, but will they let me in for a limited time signing the i-193 (paying fee) or paroled ? I worry they can send me back immediately. Any experience of that ?

Just a visit, for a few weeks

I have a valid 10 year green card (based on marriage) but my wife and I moved back to France 3 three years ago and never travelled to the US during this time. I never applied for abandoning my status, but due to bad health problems of my wife's mother we decided to visit her this summer. I guess it`s too late to fill the I-407 form from France and then get an ESTA. I read that I can fill the form at a port of entry (but I'll have to pay about 500 USD, unfortunately). So my questions : - Is there a chance they let me in without any question (it happenned to me some times) ? - Do they check when my last trip to the US was (how would they react if I lie) ? - Should I rather ask directly for filling the I-407 form ? - In the worst case can they refuse to let me in ? Thanks for advice or sharing similar experience.
