    Default Reinstating a Green Card After Leaving the Country

    Hi,

    in 2001 my brother got the green card from the lottery, so he came to the US, to register and to do the finger prints and sign all the papers that need to be signed at the immigration, they stamped on his passport, he was able to get his social security number. the immigration officials said to him that they will mail to him his green card, and then he left the US, and never came back again, but he has the stamp on his passport. my question what can he do to re activate his statue as a permanent resident.


    All the best
    my state is California

    Yes, he has two kids that were extremely ill a that period of time,
    so he had to stay that long,

    any thing that we can do to recover his permanent residency status?
    can he apply for a reentry permit? Please help!

    I doubt that he will be able to reinstate his permanent residency status, having abandoned residence in the U.S. that long ago. He should consult an immigration lawyer. For self-help measures, you've already seen this thread.
