My Father 70 year old lived in US for 12 years and received his Greencard in 1975. He left US for personal reasons in 1979. But now we want to renew his Greencard. Through research we found out that is possible to renew his permanent resident/Greencard as there is no expiration date on his Greencard. I wanted to clarify following questions.
1) Is this assumption correct? Can he come renew under greencard with no expiration date issued before 1989.
2) Should he be in USA to apply or can I apply on his behalf.
3) Currently, he is on 10 years visitor visa. Will there be any negative impact to the visa (in case GC does not get approved?
Other scenario. I will receive my citizenship in 2020 and planning to sponsor my parents GC after that. SInce my father already has GC , is there a way to expedite the process ?
Also, as my father has GC and SSN and he worked in USA , is he eligible for SSN pension now?
