How to benifit of immigration petition based on abandoned green card?
Asked on May 25th, 2015 on Immigration - Washington
More details to this question:
My father got his green card 5 years ago and filled an immigration petition at time for me. 2 years ago, he had an issue at Boston airport ended by my father filling I-407 because he did not meet the description of LPR ( as the office said). Now, national visa center has contacted my father to arrange for immigration visa for me. Is this petition still valid? Is there any way to benefit of it? If my father managed to apply for another immigration visa and get a new green card ASAP, would I be able to benefit of the petition? Thank you

In the situation that you describe, there does not appear to be any way to benefit from your father’s immigrant visa petition as he is no longer a permanent resident. If your father manages to regain his permanent resident status, he can make a new application for you with a new priority date.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.
