How long between working in Italy and his retirement? And has he maintained any establishment to the U.S.?

He got GC thanks his brothers that still live there.

He got the GC between 1981/1988.

Many thanks

Hi Ettoremi,

Has your dad maintained ties to the US (own a house, pay taxes, etc.) since he left to work in Italy?

He doesn't have houses because he lived in his brother house and never payed taxes becouse he worked in italy. He came back just six mounths per year then he didn't come back.

How long has he been away from the USA without making any return trips? Sorry for all the questions, but it does sound like your dad abandoned his US legal permanent residency.

I understand the meaning of your questions.
After 1989 he came back every three years for one mounth just with a vacation visa.

From this, it sound like the GC has expired. It may still be possible for a relative to utilized the process again, like through the son or daughter.

Sorry I don't understand.
A son or doughter should start the process again for giving him the GC, right?

Yes, it sounds like a qualifying relative will need to file a petition for him since he didn't maintain his original LPR status in the USA.

You might want to reconsider having him retire here. With the upcoming healthcare legislation there is a better than average chance he will end up in an obama sponsored unproductive denied senior internmant camp.

It appears that your father surrendered his GC at Embassy or Consulate in Italy and got multiple visas for coming to US during vacations. He will have to start from scratch.

If he left the US to live overseas, he needs an SB1 visa. It is a self application visa. See the nearest AmEmb/Con.
