Hello everyone, I have recently learned that since I left USA in 2019 I needed to file a I-407 and as a consequence the form 8854. But actually reading carefully, I read that only if you are identified as LTR you need to file form 8854 is that correct? I became LPR in May 2016, changed country for good in November 2019 with relative change of residency also recorded in my own country. That would make 3 years of LPR, and I read to be defined as LTR you need to be LPR for 8 years. So my question is: if I just know file I-407 form so that I will not have issues in the future to travel to the USA maybe even for work, would I need to file form 8854 anyways? Thank you for anyone who will reply in advanced.

I know, and spending a lot of money with the uncertainty to be granted...not sure 😕 ufff

Would they deny me although I could bring proof of work and rent back home, including hotel booking, return flight and all that kind of documentation? yikes.

So, thank you both for quick reply. I did some researches after your answers... always so complicated. So on my ESTA LPR status none, but actually there was this question "Have you ever been a citizen or national of any other country?" which I replied NO, because I have never been citizen of the USA. But that's the only question about anything of that sort. I think it's right? Maybe you have more expertise. Secondly, I have not filed I-407 as I just discovered that needed to be done. Do you guys know if I go directly in the US Embassy if they would accept an appointment to speed up that? 😕 Any idea of the cost? Thank you again

Hello everyone, So as I wrote in the title of this thread, I got a divorce and left the USA in late 2019 to return my home country. I am returning as a tourist to visit NY with my sister in April 2024, now I have no desire of course to remain, but my question rose regards of the ESTA visa since I am an Italian citizen and ESTA was already approved online, just wondering can I just go ahead and use that to enter normally the States, or do I need to bring any extra documentation because of the fact I was a permanent resident once? How does it work? Thank you to anyone who will reply.
