請教尊敬的8老師:有一個親戚持美國綠卡,但五年沒有回美國了,但可以證明這五年她一直在中國大陸治病。這種情況她是否可以持綠卡回美國,
-No. The green card is void. She may try to apply for SB-1 visa in the US Consulate in Guangzhou to come back which will reinstate her green card, but SB-1 visa is not easy to get. See these links for SB-1 visa application:

Another choice is that she may abandon her green card in any one of the US Consulates in China, and then applies for B-2 visa to enter US. She can apply for the green card again if she still has the qualification.
如果不行,找律師辦理是否有希望?
-Lawyer can not do anything more than what I suggest here.
非常感謝!
