Hi there! I lived while I was small in the US for 4 years. At the time I had a green card. Can I get a new one without all the trouble? Does it matter at all if you already had a green card in the past when you want to apply for a new one?? Thx
Assuming that you haven't lived in the US for years, you are not a permanent resident any longer. You can apply for GC just like anybody else. Your former status as LPR has no relevance today.
