For some background
I have a US Green Card but have been outside the USA for over 7 years now.
I have not surrendered LPR status, although the physical card itself has expired. According to some research, it is only possible to renew a physical green card within the USA.
I still have my social security number and still seems to be active.
My parents and my sister are now US Citizens and currently reside in the US, while I chose to live abroad for some personal reasons.
I am no longer a minor now, so a new petition from my parents will take some time to process.
Now, assuming I am able to successfully apply for and get approved for a tourist visa to visit them
Would it then be possible to try to renew my GC within the US, and get a new non-expired physical green card to use as a valid document to continue living there?
