Question: Do you see a problem with filing F-90 to renew expired permanent residency card given the possible desertion issue below? Issue with filing for citizenship?

Facts: 24 years old. Obtained permanent residency through Mom in 2006 via VAWA, which expired in 2016.

Issue:
- Enlisted in Army in 2010.
- Was medically cleared in 2011 after 3 months in a U.S. hospital as a result of a bomb incident during non-war peace keeping mission in Iraq.
- Did not report back after being medically cleared.
- No charges raised for desertion.
- Currently being treated for PTSD from incident and likely 2006 domestic violence issue.
- It appears the 5 year statute of limitations ran out in 2016 for desertion charges with the military.
- No pending charges that I am aware of.

Thank you.
