[wessam81 0]

when i was 2 years old child, my father issued resident card for me. then i stayed for few months in usa and returned back to my home country. i stayed there and never go back. i have this resident card with me. this card is not valid to use.

right now, i am living in other country and applied for non immigrant visa to visit my father and i submitted strong ties then they accepted to issue non immigrant visa for me.

i am asking about if there is any conflict between two cases

my previous card and my new non immigrant visa

waiting for your urgent reply

hi,

not a problem because you abandoned your residency, after 1 year out of the country, it is considered abandonment of your residency. You are no longer a GC holder.

Now if your father were to petition you for a GC or a spouse, you must put your A# on the form, you will have only one A# number. Just the same if you were able to get a social security number, it is for life, so you would put those numbers on the form.

thanks for your reply

actually friend told me that i need to give my card to embassy and submit form for abandonment of my residency. i have my card with me

also my father told me that i have social security number

so if he filed new petition for me so i will use same A number and social security number

also i want to add that i need to give them my card or just keep it with me

hi

not true, I never did that, it is considered abandonment after a year of not being in the US

so if he were to file for you again, then yes, you will put your A# and SSN on the i130 and any other form that is asking for it, because you will get the same number again,

your ssn is for life. the card can change, but the number is yours for life, they won't give you another number.

the question is have you decided this time to live in the US? If you are over 21, then the petition will take many years of waiting. What country are you from.

no, you don't have to return the old GC, I still have mine and it has a picture of when I was a child, I returned to my country and after living there 25 years my USC mom had to file for me. I got my first GC through my father, he died in the US and we decided to return to our country when I was 11 years old.

so now i can travel to usa by using my new visa without considering about my old GC

my father can apply for new I130 and use my A and SSN again

correct

do not overstay your visit. you are entering as a tourist.
