More details to this question:
My mother went outside the United States while her case was pending. It hasn't been a year yet, but I was told that she has abandoned her petition by leaving the U.S. What do I need to do to bring her back to the United States? Do I have to reapply for her green card from step 1?

It sounds like she left the US during the application for adjustment of status, but did not have her advance parole travel authorization; is this correct? What is the basis for her permanent residence, did you file for her?

You might. More specifics about you and your mother are necessary. If she traveled without permission and cannot return, you likely will have to start again. If she can return before an interview, she may not have abandoned the petition. Call me for a consultation and we can figure it out.

It sounds like you need to reapply but speak to an immigration attorney directly. For a free consultation you may contact my office.
