    Default Leaving the U.S. With an Expired Green Card

    My dad left the USA on an expired green card about 7 years ago. I am a naturalized citizen and he wants to come back to the USA now. Does he need to renew his green card or do I need to fill out the form I-130? I I just need to know which form to fill out before spending money for nothing. Thank you so much for your help.

    If he has been out of the U.S. for seven years, he has abandoned his permanent residency - and needs to start over.

    Ok. Which form do I need him to fill out? Can I sponsor him for a new one?

    Yep, you'll need to file an I-130.

    Note especially the part listing the documents you need to submit in order to establish that he is your father. They're a lot more complex than if you were filing for your mother, for some reason.
