One of my Brazilian friends recently decided to visit the USA and renew his green card. He lived in the USA for 10 years, married then divorced and finally moved back to Brazil. There were only 2 days left on his card before it expires.
Well, he was stopped at the immigration for further investigation. He spends 4 hours in the immigration office at the airport. They interviewed him, they checked his criminal record – clean, they checked his taxes – he did not pay anything for last 6 years since he was not here. Finally they told him that he can abandon his permanent residency “voluntarily” and they will give him a visa or he can go through another procedure and court to get his status back. He said Goodbye America and released his status. Immigration gave him 6 months visa and after two weeks here he left the USA for good.
I researched this on the immigration site but could not see anything that would allow immigration to do so but it did it!
