Well, i'm american, but, my mother is just a permanent resident of the united states. My mom lived in USA for 13 years or more, but we came to live to Dominican Republic 6 years ago, though we kept on traveling to USA till 3 years ago. My mom's residence was robbed, and, even worst, now is when she remember's that the maximum time for a permanent resident to be out of USA is 12 months, and she has 36 MONTHS :S !!!
Well, i wanted to know if someone has experience on this type of things and could tell me if she can get her residence back, and how.
(If it help's, we have a lot of proof that she was in USA and my father, my brother and me are US Citizens)

Actually, a resident can only be out of the states for 6 months of the year. A day over 6 months, and they have to start the process all over. It sounds like she will have to re-apply for permanent residence, since she was gone for so long.

I would talk to an immigration lawyer here in the states. They know the ins and outs of everything. Also check out visapro.com They have a lot of good info. Good luck!

I agree that you need an immigration lawyer. It may be possible to reinstate your mother, but a lawyer will know all the loopholes you can get (and all the hoops the government will make you go through).
