My wife has an expired green card. What can I do to bring her back to the US legally?

If she has been outside the US for an extended period of time, most likely she has lost her status due to abandonment and you would have to repetition her for the green card. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. Depending on how long your wife has been out of the country, she may be deemed to have abandoned her green card and you may have to file a petition for her again. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

File new I-130 and prove your marriage through documents.

You may have to file a new I-130.

If your wife has been outside of the country for more than 1 year, without a valid excuse, it is likely that immigration will deem that she has abandoned her residency in the United States. In which case, you will need to submit another I-130 petition on her behalf and start the immigration process all over again. The paperwork should be completed in about 1 year, and she should be able to return to the US after she receives her immigration visa from the US consulate.
