thank you guys....and I ll be arriving in Orlando, FL. you guys have any "info" about CBP at MCO airport? Im coming from South America

I did file the taxes, every year, Im pretty sure I can find other evidences. But Im in shock that the paralegal is correct! Thank you everyone! I booked my flights, gonna be flying to the US in 4 weeks!! I ll update you all on what happens!

Ok guys, so I lived in the US with a GC since 2015 ( married to US citizen ), for stupid reasons I did not apply for citizenship ( basically I did not want to spend the money...I know...Im stupid ) ) My marriage was an abusive terrible mess so in March 2020 just when Covid first hit , my husband quick me out of the house...I went back to my country and never came back to America... Now, 3 years and more later ( after worked and lived overseas ) I want to return to the US. I knew about the GC rules but I decided to stay overseas ( I did not have a reason to return to America ). Now I want to go back to America.... so...first I hired a lawyer: I paid $ 300 for an appointment and he told me the best way is to apply for a return visa ( sb1 ) and he wants to charge me$ 5000 for that + visa fees. 1 day later I met a paralegal from my country, who did not charge me anything but she told me that I should not apply for that Return Visa because its 100% chance it will get denied. and that my ONYL shot is to fly to America ( GC expires in in 2027 ) and try to convince CBP that I did not abandon my GC.....she said the worst worst case scenario it will be me going to a Immigrant Court...that..in the end...gonna let me stay.....she said its 99% chance that Im gonna be fine, but I need to fly to America and probably deal with an almost-abusive CBP........this paralegal not gonna charge me anything but she said I need to start to make "proof" that I did not want to abandon my residency. So at this point I don't know if I should trust the Lawyer or the Paralegal...Could you guys give me some advise based on the experiences that you have seen? thanks
