Hello, i have been in and out of US over +30 years (sometimes more than 2 years outside and always managed to get in and update my documents) . I have actually a valid SS, DL, GC, etc. I have a Green Card since i was 12 years old.
Last time i lived and worked in the US, i entered as a tourist with the family (got approved with the ESTA authorization) as my GC was expired for some time and i still dont know how, but i did updated my GC and my DL and they are valid today.
I have a tourist visa stamped in my Passport (passport validation ends in 6 months from now) should i just ask for a new and "clean" passport?
I want to go back to the US, should i consider a SB-1 visa? The emigration officers probably would never understand the reasons of the SB-1 since the COVID19 explanations are not worth.
Do they keep track of all passports that overstayed in the US with a tourist visa stamped on the passport? Will they manage to see when i left the US (+2 years)?
Since i got out "as a tourist" with an expired visa on the passport will associate my name and find the connection between the expired tourist visa and the GC holder being the same???
Should i go thru and proceed with a renovated passport and my valid GC?
Any feedback will be helpful,
Thank you and stay safe.
