Hi friends pls help me My mom got green card in 2000 but just visited once her GC is expiring in 2010. but she did not maintain that by coming every year so we applied for her as visitor visa. what is suppose to tell VO at the time of interview about green card. we are six brother and sis two are back in india and 4 of us are in US. My father is not coming as we have lot of farming land. any tips guys she has her visa appointment on 23rd of Aug.

Hi
If your mother does not want to maintain the Green card, the visa officer may require your mother to declare it in writing at the consulate. Your mom has to fill in the necessary data and return the signed form to the VO.

Apart from that the rules for a visitor visa will apply. But your mom has an advantage, because she did not stay for long in US which shows her intention is just visit and not to stay.

If the VO asks too many questions about the GC, your mom can answer that she got lot of ties in her country hence longer stay in US is not possible for her.

Thanks rathi for your reply. I'll convey my mom about this that she might have to fill the form etc.
