My parents have Green Cards thanks to me. Now that they are legal resident, they don't want to stay here anymore. They lived in their country for about 11 months and one month in US. Last time when they came back to US, the immigration officer warned them that their GC will be revoked if they failed to live in US longer than six months. Well, my parents are elderly, and they really can't get used to the lifestyle here. They just want to keep the GC so that they can come visit us without having to apply for tourist visa..... it's almost impossible to get tourist visa from where they came from.
I researched a bit and found out that they might need Travel Document. It will allows them to leave US for more than two years without getting their GC revoked. Is that true?
Please help....

yes. if you are granted an immigrant visa, you must show the intent to make this country your country of residence. otherwise, why not just get tourist visas to free up the visa quotas for people who really intend to make this country their permanent residence?

No problem, have them apply for a "Re-entry Permit( I-191)" before they leave the U.S. I think it is valid for a year or two. Good Luck!
