Dear forum readers, your advice will be much appreciated!
I won the DV lottery and received Green Card in 2012, after which I filed for a Re-entry permit and went back to my country of birth to finish my studies. Before the expiration of the Re-entry permit in 2014 I went to the US again and filed for a second Re-entry permit because I got a 100% scholarship for PhD in my country of birth, and in the US I couldn?t afford it. But after finishing my PhD, I had to look after my grandfather who needed constant care and passed away in January. So my second Re-entry permit expired in December 2016. I have no property or bank accounts in the US and I did not pay taxes, as I was a student. However I have always preserved the intention to return to the US and I want to do it now finally.
I plan to apply to the US Consulate for a returning resident visa. Is there anything I can do to increase my little chance to have it approved? Should I submit my grandfather?s medical documents?
