Hi,
I got a green card in 1986. I visited US and then came back. My father passed away when I was a kid and since I was a kid, I did not return to US. After 21 years, I was asked by my company to apply B1. Someone told me that since I cannot have 2 status in US, and my green card is expired, I need to abandon my green card. I did the same and abandoned my green card.
Yesterday, my sister who is a student in US, sent her GC to INS and she was surprised to hear that she is still a LPR and will be issued a new GC.
Is there any way I can get my GC back. What steps should I take? While surrendering the card to the visa officer, I was not told that I am still a LPR of US. Please help me!
Thanks,
Akhil Jindal
