  1. when you say “surrender the GC via I407 when you leave” does that mean that when I arrive at POE, and the CBP officer is of the initial judgment that I have abandoned my LPR status, will I accept that initial judgment and just say that I intend to surrender the GC when I leave US? Wont they push me to sign the I407 upon my arrival at the POE if I say that? If I on the other hand reject that initial judgment and will not mention about my intent to surrender my GC, will they automatically refer me to an IJ? thank you for your input! I’d like to ask the same question as above when you referred to “surrender your GC after your visit”. thank you for your input! I appreciate it!
  2. Hi! Did she have to pay for any fine? may I ask what other questions she was asked?
  3. Hi Khaye! I wanted to ask what were the BCP's questions when you came back on AUg 11, 2017 where you were approved with I-193? And what were your answers? I am also outside of US for 1.2 years already and would want to come back to US for a short trip. I have no re entry permit and in all honestly, I dont have ties anymore to US. I am planning to abandon my GC upon arrival there but a lot of people suggest to abandon it only after I leave US again. I am curious to know what the BCP officers ask you during this arrival and how should that be answered so I get an I-193 approval. I am also PH citizen. Thanks!
  4. Thanks! IN that case, even though I have been outside of US for more than a year, I will not be denied entry when I arrive in US if I use my GC. Would you know what questions the CBP officer would tell me? And what I should and should not say upon this entry? Thanks!
  5. Thanks! In any case, wouldn't my GC be considered abandoned already and I will be questioned by the CBP officer at the POE? There, I want to surrender my GC but still enter US for a short visit (10 days). so i407 and then i193. Do you think that would work?
  6. Hi, I (Philippine citizen)obtained a green card but left US since July 24, 2022 because my husband (US and German citizen) decided to settle back in his country and I also found work. Since a year has already passed, I believe GC is considered abandoned. My husband and I want to visit (for leisure) US on January 2024. I still have the GC with me and it will expire May 4 2024. My questions is, what is the best route to take? 1. Formally surrender my GC by mail to USCIS mailbox and apply for tourist visa as soon as I get an official confirmation of the abandonment? But the processing time here will play a big role because I have read experiences where it has been 3 months and they have not yet heard anything from USCIS. THe problem here, is I might not be able to apply for a tourist visa on time if I don't have the confirmation since I will still be considered as LPR in their system. 2. Travel with my GC and at the CBP, submit my green card along with the i407 and request for Form I-193 Application for Waiver of Passport and/or Visa to re-enter US for my desired travel. Con here is I am not sure if they will grant me re-entry just on that basis of 407 + 193. Although here in this article https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-3671?language=en_US, its pretty straightforward. Has anybody tried to enter US by doing the option number 2 above? Your experience and tips would be very much appreciated!
