回复：回美证失效了怎么办？

In-law 2009年9月回国。走之前申请了回美证。因身体不好，一直在国内看病（中医调理），回美证就这样失效了。 现准备下个月来美。 正确的做法是什么？如果自己买机票来美（反正国航是不管的）， 进关会有什么样的问题？绿卡倒没有过期。

-Because he/she does not retun to US before the RP expired, the green card is invalid and thus, probably the CBP office may not allow him/sher to enter US.

Two choices:

1. Apply for the SB-1 visa in any oneof the US Consulates in China using the reason of illness which prevented him/her from returning to US on time (need to provide the the strong evidence to support this reason).

See the following websites for SB-1 visa:

http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/*****1_visas_returning_residents.htmm

2. If he/she cn not get the SB-1 visa, he/she may give up the green card and then, apply for the B2 visa to come back.

• 请问8老师，既然她有绿卡，为何不能用绿卡回美。 -0118610- ♀ (0 bytes) () 04/15/2012 postreply 19:13:06

• 我有回美证，从没用过，现绿卡已拿到，下个月回国，应该用绿卡回来，还是要拿回美证。请原谅很无知。 -0118610- ♀ (0 bytes) () 04/15/2012 postreply 19:17:54
