Hello everyone
My friend and his family (wife and kids ) obtained their green card through a lottery a few years ago they came to the US but then his father died suddenly then him and his family returned to their country of orgin and stayed there to care for his elderly mother and family business and then covid hit and the world shut down and their life in their county of orgin took a bad tool. Their green card didnt expire they expire mid 2023 but they have been outside of the US for more then 6 month. Are they elgible to renew it, can they do it automatically ro should they schedule an appointment at the embassy to explain the situation and reapply/renew because they would like to return to the US now permantely.
thank you
