Do I have a lawful greencard?

Hi!
I left my company in June 2007, and I-485 (EB-3) was pending and had job portability at that time. My husband and I both looked for new jobs and was not able to get a right position for us. We had to leave US for the sake of our new born daughter.
In case of our returning to US, I did not liquidated my assets in US.
Since then, my husband got a job in our home country and started to settled down.
In Aug 2010, we had approval of greencards and were delivered to my sister's place in US.
After three years living outside of US, we have this PR approval and wondering if this PR is legal and is valid! If it is, how do we keep this PR since we decided to go back to US after two years?
Thank you for your kind reply.
 
I don't think your GC is in good standing because yoru husband did not work for sponsor after getting the GC or worked for anotehr employer with teh same job desc. Your chance depends on USCIS'
apathy, that is they do not care
 
Well more than anything you left US 3 years ago and CBP have record of that, so even if have your GC's mailed to you from US and if you try to enter on em you will be busted, How will you explain GC being issued after 3 years of departure from US? they will figure it out that USCIS made an error upon entry and this will not work.
Surrendering your GC's will be the right and lawful thing to do and will not jeopardize any future applications for any visas or a GC.
 
I guess your GC should be good as it is for "Future" employment.
You can process entire green card without ever joining a company.

Give it a try, if this is what you want.
Max $3000 round trip what else, do you have to loose?

Employment is not the issue here. The issue is that failing to return to the US before expiration of the Advance Parole or H or L visa would invalidate the I-485. This green card just happened to be approved because USCIS is unaware of them being outside the US for so long.
