So I used to have a green card when I was a child. I am now 28 years old. My green card expired when I was 18, which was 10 years ago. I have been back in my home country (Trinidad. & Tobago) for about 12-13 years. I have NEVER been in the US illegally. The reason my green card was never renewed was because I wanted to live with my mother in Trinidad & my father who I would visit in the US died. I’m now pursing my Bachelor in education to become a teacher! (YAYYY ME) I was told by my lecturer that I could gain experience with a J1 visa teaching in the US for a year or two. What I want to know is would my old GC stop my J1 from being approved? I’m thinking no because I was a minor & I was never in the country illegally, but it would help to get advice from one of you lovely souls. Ty in advance ❤️🤟🏽🥰

Hi,
So I used to have a green card when I was a child. I am now 28 years old. My green card expired when I was 18, which was 10 years ago.
