Forfeiting LPR status won't guarantee you a nonimmigrant visa

Ask the US Embassy

Q: I used to be a legal permanent resident in the United States, but I moved back to Forgein country approximately five years ago after I retired. Can I apply for a nonimmigrant visa to go visit my sister in the US?

A: An individual who is a US citizen or a US legal permanent resident may not be issued a nonimmigrant visa. During your nonimmigrant visa interview, the consular officer will ask to see proof that you no longer possess legal permanent resident status.

Giving up your legal permanent resident status does not guarantee that you will qualify to receive a nonimmigrant visa. You must demonstrate that you meet all of the legal requirements to obtain a nonimmigrant visa. During your interview, a consular officer will ask questions to determine whether you reestablished strong ties to country of orgin after moving back from the United States.

If you have not formally abandoned your legal permanent resident status, you must complete the necessary paperwork before your nonimmigrant visa interview. This documentation may be completed during USCIS office hours at the Embassy.

The US Embassy will answer questions you may have regarding the US Mission, including consular law, regulations and/or practice. In order to respect privacy, staff will not answer questions about specific visa applications.

Nobody ever said it did?

As far as I know, it's not even guaranteed that the sun will rise tomorrow or that President Obama is not an illegal alien from outer space with a reptile body under the human one.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Personally, the only thing guarantee that I know of is that, there are those on VJ that always have to have the last say in concept, if the information didn't originate from them.

AS, on VJ mod is famous for saying, if what you have to contribute isn't postive, then say nothing at all.
