If someone wants to surrender current and valid GC ( as not possible to maintain it due to long stays in India ) , what is the procedure to be done at the Consulate office in India ? Also he would want to apply and get a 10 yrs multiple entry visa for USA at the same time of surrender of his GC . His GC is current and valid as he made last trip to USA only 4 months back.
Please suggest the forms to be submitted and process to be followed.
Thanks
 
File form I-407 to surrender the GC, and DS-160 to apply for a tourist visa. Contact the nearest US consulate for details of their procedures for setting up an appointment and paying the fee (I don't think there is a fee for GC surrender, but there definitely is one for the tourist visa). Many consulates have web sites so you can look there for info.
 
Thanks Jackolantern,
He wish to get a 10 yrs visa ( Multiple entry ) at the time of surrender of GC. How to synchrinise this ? Can he get the appointment for Nonimmigrant tourist visa and then at the time of the interview ( appointment ) also produce Form I 407 to surrender the GC ? What will be proper way to handle this situation ? Any idea , Pl send views.
 
Yes, he can produce the I-407 and GC at the tourist visa interview. But he shouldn't specifically ask for 10 years -- they know everybody wants 10 years, and they will decide how long the visa will be (but 10 years is very likely, give that he is surrendering the GC).
