Question by taydal: Green card issue about the usa re-entry?
hi all,
i am a green card owner since 2002 and my card will expire in 2012. after finishing high school in the states, i came back to my home country -turkey- to finish college. now i am about to get graduated and i have never visited the states for 6 years during my college education. i think at this point my green card would not be valid. is there any way to make it valid again or do i have to go thru the application process all over again? what happens if i go to the states and try to enter the country with this green card? how can i be sure that this is still valid or not? what should i do right now in turkey in order to get a reentry? Our family friend also had a green card and she did not enter the country for more than 5 years and last year when she got there, she could just enter the country without any problem or so. how could that happen? and would the same apply to me? would they basically arrest me at the enterance or something if i try to sneak in with my gc? isn’t there anything i can do to regain an enterance right? isn’t there anywhere i can consult to explain my case that i was only here for college education and i wasn’t aware of that law? i think once i heard that i can apply for a special visa for tha validity of my gc or something.. any ideas?
further info: my mother is an american born citizen but she’s not living in the states. and i am a 25 years old male. mom came here when she was 2 years old and never went back there except for some visits.
i’d be very plased if you reply me back.

I would say you lost it after one year out …
You can try to enter using it and demand to see a judge
