My aunt's greencard was canceled because she stayed overseas for around 3 years without proper documentation (e.g., Re-Entry Permit). While she was overseas, Her husband, a US citizen, filed a petition for her new greencard in the local US Embassy, got a bunch of documents that she must bring to the immigration office in the US. She flew back to the US, the immigration officer in the Port of Entry (LAX) took these documents, and let her in. One week later (she was still in the US), she got a "Welcome Notice" from the USCIS stating that they got the documents and told her to wait for 30 days for further notice. Today she got a letter, which should be that follow up notice, stating that "her current status as an SB1 is only a temporary status” and that “she is required to file a Form 1-90 with fee before she can regain her permanent resident status.”
Does anybody know why she has to file Form I-90? She still has the old greencard and the card is still valid until 2014 (although, legally, the card was canceled several years ago because of her extended stay overseas).
Thank you for your help.
