Right, she needs to wait 5 more years to qualify.

She cannot speak English and unable to remember those questions.

Hello everyone, I’m currently assisting my mother with completing Form I-90 to renew her green card, which is set to expire in February 2026. I have a question regarding Item Number 5: “Since you were granted permanent residence, have you ever filed Form I-407, Abandonment by Alien of Status as Lawful Permanent Resident, or otherwise been determined to have abandoned your status?” My mother received her first green card in 1998 through my aunt but returned to Vietnam in 1999 to care for my grandmother. She remained outside the U.S. until 2016, when she was granted her current green card through my sponsorship. Given this history, I’m unsure how to accurately respond to Item Number 5. Could anyone please advise what should be entered based on her circumstances? Thank you!
