In-law 2009年9月回國。走之前申請了回美證。因身體不好,一直在國內看病(中醫調理),回美證就這樣失效了。 現準備下個月來美。 正確的做法是什麽?如果自己買機票來美(反正國航是不管的), 進關會有什麽樣的問題?綠卡倒沒有過期。
-Because he/she does not retun to US before the RP expired, the green card is invalid and thus, probably the CBP office may not allow him/sher to enter US.
Two choices:
1. Apply for the SB-1 visa in any oneof the US Consulates in China using the reason of illness which prevented him/her from returning to US on time (need to provide the the strong evidence to support this reason).
See the following websites for SB-1 visa:

2. If he/she cn not get the SB-1 visa, he/she may give up the green card and then, apply for the B2 visa to come back.
