Stayed in P.I. past my GC expiration date but have valid Re-Entry Permit

[CA_PI]

To whom it may concern;

Hi, I was wondering if you can please send me your advice on a situation that I'm in. You see, I left the States to continue my studies back in 2002-03 and for a while I was going back and forth before the six month limit would be up.

Then I was hospitalized for a time which affected my trips back to the states. Well to make a long story short; I ended up getting married in the PI with two girls (one of them not mine). I thought by giving up the green card I was being noble because I was going to be there for my family and giving them a father figure and a husband to my wife.

When I had the opportunity to renew my green card; I made it to the US embassy only to be turned away by the person behind the counter saying that I could not renew here in the P.I. but that I have to return to the states. Well that was hard for me because funds were very low. Needless to say my card ran out just a few months ago although I have my re-entry permit and SS card as well as my drivers license from the states.

I don't want to believe that there is such thing as a no-win scenerio; and I am holding on to hope that I can still return to the states although it might take a little longer.

Please provide me with your advice and the step by step process to do this...

Looks like you have already lost your green card status.

Fair enough....can you please advise me on the next course of action? I don't know what to do from here on out. Except to try to return back to the US.
