Greencard Denial At Airport

[Jman14 0]

I know someone who is coming to the U.S. from Turkey. He is a permanent greencard holder, yet he has not been in the country since 2007. He never had any intention of moving to the U.S. Furthermore, he never applied for a re-entry permit nor does he have a SB1 Returning Visa Permit. Will he be denied entry to the U.S. and sent back to Turkey? Or will authorities in Turkey prevent him from coming here?

He may be required to surrender his green card and possibly paroled in. He's lost his privilege to use his.

He got in the country in 2007 after being out of the country for four years. So I'm just completely lost as to how he retained his card. I really don't want him hear.

Here?

Nothing you can do.

I really don't want him hear.

What do you mean by this? What do you feelings have to do with his permanent resident status?

Here* sorry. He's my uncle from my father's side. He won the greencard in a lottery. He's a very mean man and he's just coming here to shop and use the US for his own purposes. He doesn't deserve the greencard. I bet there are a million people that are more deserving of it. That's why his status concerns me

Who are you to make judgement who deserves a greencard and who doesn't? As long as your uncle is abiding the law, then he can come shop or do whatever he wants. This is a free country. You can't do anything about it.

If you don't like your uncle, then don't host him in your house, that is your right.

He can shop using a visitor visa.

Again what do your feelings have to do with his status? You don't want him to shop in the US? What a strange thing to say. If he got a green card through the lottery and he wants to shop in the US only, who cares? He doesn't seem to be breaking the law. You may not like him and you may have valid reasons not to, but again, who cares? You seem to want to cause trouble for him. Put your energy elsewhere.

If he been out of the states for more than a year without re-entry nor staying here, it is a very high possibility that he needs to surrender his greencard and be revoked, then sent back to Turkey. I've seen it at least two or three cases in the immigration at POE.

Then the other things is like the others said.. If you don't like him, don't let him stay at your place; it is a free country, he is free to come, and you are free to receive him or not. You can't do anything about him if his entry is allowed, doesn't matter you like him or not, being your uncle or anybody else.

Not sure why a Mod has not shut this one down.

I definitely want him to come shop here and support our economy. Could care less how is he using his green card...

I appreciate everyone's opinions and responses. I know its wrong of me to want someone to get denied because I dislike them. According to the rules though, it is very clear that he will lose his card.

If he's doesn't admit to anything terroristic, he will be permitted in.
