I am a Canadian citizen who lived in the U.S. from 1989-1996 on a green card. My mother was born in the U.S. and is still a U.S. citizen. My father (divorced) is a naturalized U.S. citizen. My wife is a Canadian citizen, and our daughter is a U.S. citizen, studying in NY. She was born in Orlando in 1994.
My wife and I would like to return to live in the U.S. and I would like to reactivate my green card status. I understand that a 1+ year absence amounts to relinquishment, requiring me to reapply. Given the family configuration described above, what would my easiest, quickest method of application be? Thank you.
