Helle everybody
I got my green card through DV around the end od 2009. For personal reason, I was never able to settle down in the US; I just lived there a couple of months. I went out for almost a year after GC, came back to apply for a re entry permit, left for 2 years, came back with a valid re entry permit with my son born outside the US (he got a stamp on his passport) and left again. When I entered the US with my valid re entry permit I was flagged for no reason. An officer told me that when I was doing the paperwork for my son
My personal situation is OK now and I am 100% sure that a want to live in the US and even got a job offer but I have been out of the US for 10 months now.
What is the best solution, go throught the canadian border because the officers are nicer? If I fly to the US which POE woud be better? Ask for a returning resident visa (I heard they could take the GC on the spot in case of denial? Entering the US with my US Citizen daughter who is 4 would be of any help?
To be fully honest at one point, I just thought that I would just give up the card and that's why I did no tax return. I know my case is almost not defendable. I hold a french passport, if I'm denied entry can I enter the US for vacation in the future because I have family there and my daughter was born in the US and has a valid passport? I am gathering information to fix tha tax issue, I was unemployed for a very long time here in France so I guess I won't have taxes to pay but I know it's part of maintainig the status;
How could a defend my case?
Thanks in advance
