母親當年疲於每六個月中美間奔波，就決心回去了。如果明年想來美國探親，屆時回國三年多了，請問：

1.綠卡是否自動作廢了

-Yes.

2.是否必須申請B-2簽證才能來美國

-She had better abandon the green card at any one of the US Consulates in China, and then apply for B-2 visa at the same time or later to come to US.

3.B-2簽證前是否必須簽署放棄綠卡的文件 -Yes. Provide the completed I-407. See:

4.有無可能不簽放棄綠卡的文件並能拿到B-2簽證，來美後是否可以將綠卡延續或更新？-No. But you can sponosr her to apply for the green card again as you did before after she enters US using B-2 visa.

還是這種情況沒有可能。

5.如果放棄綠卡了，將來再申請，需要等一段時間嗎？如果需要，要等多久？-The same procedure and processing time as you did for her before. It seems she may not want to live US permanently (this is common for many senior Chinese who are not used to the US life), she may not need to have the green card, and just use the B-2 visa to visit you.

謝謝。很折騰，但也很無奈。。。這種情況有無更好的建議？
