If he is granted his GC back via SB1, he can file for his dependents in the normal manner. They get in the back of that line and will get a GC after a several year wait.


He would need good reason to justify a returning resident decision. If he does not, he will need to qualify for a GC just like all new applicants. There is no special consideration for someone who had held and lost a GC.
Thanks, so if he is granted his green card back he would have to file for his dependants. So his choice would be to move back to the US and leave his wife and children behind and live in America without them while their applications are pending. Or if he gets his Green Card back he could stay with them outside of the US and file for them, but then that could take years and his green card would then become invalid again as he would have been outside the US for too long again?
