Hello all. My mother has been a green card holder since 2002. Her card is due to expire next May. She has been out of the country for over a year, and this is not her first extended absence. Here are my questions:
- my mother heard that one is not allowed to use a green card for reentry within six months of its expiration date. In other words, if it expires in May 1st, then October 31st would be the last day she could enter the country using it. I can't find any confirmation of this online. Is this true?
- what difficulties might she encounter upon reentry, as well as when she applies for renewal?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
