我父母（80多歲了）有綠卡，因為疫情原因在中國呆了3年多，現在要回到美國與我們一起生活。我看到類似情況的貼裏，8老師說，如果父母年紀大，可以在中國放棄綠卡再申請旅遊簽證，等父母到了美國再重新申請綠卡。

-Because there are many things uncertain if they use their green card to enter US in this case, they may face big pressure physically and psychologically at the port of entry, especailly they are in old age and may not know English well. That is why I normally suggest people like your parents to abandon their green card and then, apply for B2 visa to travel to US.

我的問題是，如果父母直接闖關，是否可行。如果入境官員比較仁慈，他們仍可以保存綠卡。

-True. Some people did it successfully, depends how lucky your parents are.

如果入境官員要求他們放棄綠卡，是否也會給他們幾個月的旅遊簽證。

-It is possible, but not 100%. They can discuss it with the officer there and normally , the officer should agree to issue them B2 status (I-94) in this case.

這樣拿到旅遊簽證入關後也可以再申請綠卡。不知這樣是否可行？

-Yes. But your parents had better wait for 3 months after they enter US with B2 status, then you can sponsor them green card again.

入關時填寫了放棄綠卡的表格，是否會對今後再申請綠卡有負麵影響？

-No.

謝謝
