Wanting to return to the US after abandoned green card (split)

[christinahughes 0]

Hello,

I received a greencard via my spouse sponsoring me. In september 2014 I files an i407 and abandoned my greencard. With the thought of the both of us never returning to the usa. I never recieved word that my application was recieved and acknowledged.

We would like to return to theus. What do I do?

Please help

Hi,

Using form i-407 means that you have irrevocably abandon your green card. You will have to be petitioned all over again. You will need to qualify for it all over again.

~~Split from 4 year old thread. It's better to start a new thread then resurrecting an old one as your question might get lost.~~

Not seen too many I 407's begs the question whether you get acknowledgement.

If you are just visiting, you apply for a tourist visa and see what happens. If you are looking to get another GC to live in the US then your spouse files the I-130 for a spousal visa unless the country you are living in allows and your spouse qualifies for DCF (direct consular filing). Then you wait. You will mention the other GC on the I-130 application and I would make sure you give them your A# as well.
