Hi everyone, I’ve not been here for a while but I wanted to ask a question on expired green card. My brother who was a green card holder for 15 years left to be with his family in El Salvador for about 3 years and never bother getting renew his green card. Can anything be done? Can he still renew his card and re-enter the USA? Can we file anything?

I was afraid that was the answer. Makes sense. No he didn’t get a reentry permit. So I guess he needs to refill?

Yes. He would need to refile. Does he have any family that reside in the US? If a spouse the he will have a short wait. If you are his only relative he will have a long wait

He would have to re-file if he is even eligible. Although there isn't a specific duration for which an LPR is allowed to be outside the US, 3 year is far too long. If he tries to enter the US now with the expire green card, he will be 99% held by the secondary and suggested to file the abandonement form I-407. If he refuses, then he will have to face an immigration judge and prove that he hasn't abandoned his LPR status...which I think is going to be 100% fail.
