I am a US citizen and had applied for my mohter's GC a few years ago.
She got her greencard but ..... She left for India to take care of a
few personal matters in January 2002. We filed for a extension of her
stay in India and she was granted a further 6-month extension (in the
form of another passport type document). However because of health
reasons she was unable to travel and the extension document has since
expired. She has been out of the country since January 2002 but would
like to come to the USA for a short period of time (6 months max) to
visit. She has decided not to stay in the US on a permanent basis but
to live in India after the visit. Now for her temporary visit to the
US, what is the procedure? Should she apply for a tourist visa? Will
she be required to surrender her Green Card in India or on entering
the US? Any help would be appreciated. |
