8老师，我父亲九十年代中期就拿了绿卡在美国工作，后来由于工作原因回国了，01年后就没有来过美国，现在子女都入籍了，我母亲一直保持绿卡中美两地飞，但父亲绿卡已经过期，07年父亲去成都领事馆签过一次旅游签证，但被拒签，理由是有移民倾向。如今父亲退休，子女不在身边，可他又不想办绿卡两边跑，最理想是能办十年签证，每年来子女家住几个月，请问8老师，像我父亲这种情况，可能先办407放弃绿卡，再办十年签证吗？
-Yes, he can abandon his green card and apply for the B-2 visa at the same time or later. I have advised more than 10 people did that and they all got the B-2 visa successfully.
关键我母亲一直保持绿卡，签证官会相信父亲没有移民倾向吗？
-It should be fine.
另外如果要办407同时申请签证，必须去广州领事馆还是可以在居住地所属的成都领事馆？
-Any one of the US Consulates is OK. 成都领事馆 is fine.
最后一问，如果无法办理签证，一定要从新办绿卡，我父亲这种情况可以自己办理吗，还是需要专业律师协助？
-It is simple process, and I don't think you need a lawyer. But your father has to abandon the green card first, then you file I-130 to sponsor him to apply for the immigrant visa later. He can abandon his green card by mail or in person. Read this link:
