What happens if I return to US after a long time with my green card at the entry port?

Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
Any number of things can happen when you present yourself for inspection at the border, but most likely you will asked questions regarding your residences since you obtained your green card. I have personally seen and worked on a similar case in the past for a young man who was kept outside the US for many years by his father, who was allegedly involved in criminal activities, and threatened with harm if he was to return to the US. We attempted to re-enter the US from Mexico with the gentleman in our car and CBP diverted us to secondary inspection, where we submitted application I-191 for advance permission to return to unrelinguished domicile and his affidavit explaining his situation. After about 3 hours of waiting, the gentleman's application was approved and he was permitted to return to the US despite being absent abroad for many years. Instead of waiting at the border for a decision, it is probably a better idea to submit the application to USCIS beforehand.

Can a sister in law file papers for West African resident?

Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
If by "filing papers" you mean petitioning the U.S. Government for an immigrant visa that would give your brother-in-law ability to come to the U.S. and become a permanent resident, then the answer is No, you cannot file such papers. If your husband becomes a U.S. citizen, he would be able to petition for his brother's immigrant visa; but the process will take many years. On the other hand, if you only want your brother-in-law to come for the ceremony, you can write a letter to the U.S. Consul in his country, and that should help him get a visitor's visa.
