Hi, I used to have a GC when I was young and lived in the US for 5 years.. certain events forced my family to reestablish ourselves in our home country. Some time later I returned on vacations to the US and my GC was taken away by an officer at the airport (cant recall I was barely 6 or 7) ... now 15 years have passed... I want to return to the US.
Do I have to redo the whole process of applying for a Green Card? or does the fact that I already had one help in any way? I dont want to wait 6 more years till a green card number is available for me.
2nd question:
I have a Social Security Number since I had my GC.. can I use it to be employed in the US? (the card has no indication of a "not valid for work" item)
thanx...
