Green card after submitting i-407

It is doubtful that the U. S. consulate where your wife surrendered her green card will allow her to take it back as a form of buyer’s remorse, but she can try. If not, the form I-407 has a part which states that a person who surrenders the card can have a hearing at any time hereafter before an immigration judge to determine admissibility by presenting himself or herself at a port of entry to the U. S. and seeking entry. At that time, the immigration judge can and will take into account all statements made concerning a person’s abandonment of residence. In your wife’s case, she may have the additional problem of boarding transportation back to the U. S. and may have to ask the U. S. consulate or DHS office (if there is one in the country) for papers allowing her to board the transportation.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
