This is about a friend of mine who is a physician.
He has had a green card since 1999. He took a job and moved to Dubai few years ago. He has maintaned the validity of his green card thorughout the entire period he has been out of country by visiting U.S several times.
Now, he is planning to move back to the U.S and already arranged for a place to live, etc.
His green card expired last year and he recently applied for renewal. He was scheduled for finger printing last month at US Consulate in Dudai. He arrived on time and did his finger printing.
His lawyer received a denial notice saying that the application is being deinied because he never showed up for finger printing.
My question is should he refile the renewal application or should he reopen the application file as the notice indicates he can do within 30 days??
