Hi,

I am posting this on my brother's behalf. You can send replies to [email protected] or

-------------------------------------------------

- In 1984, my parents who had greencards, sponsored me for permanent residency. I came to
the US in 1985.
- Towards end of 1985, my parents had to return to India because my mother was having some
health problems and she thought that she would get better treatment in India.
- Meanwhile, I was studying here in the U.S. I obtained Associate degree in computer
science and I started studying for B.S. in computer science.
- In 1988, when I had only one more year remaining for my bachelor's degree, my mother's
health condition had deteriorated in India. She was undergoing severe depression. My
brother, and sisters were already settled in the US. I, being an elder son in the
family, had to return to India to care for my mother. During this difficult period, it
didn't occur to me that I should be applying for reentry permit.
- In 1990, when my mother's condition improved, I wanted to return to the US, but I found
out that my greencard may not be valid. I did not make any attempts to come to the US. I
opened a Computer training institute in India and I have been successfully running it
till now. Meanwhile I also got married and I have 2 children.
- I would like to return the US and join my my brother and sisters and continue my further
studies in computer science. If my permanent residence status can be somehow reinstated,
I can sponsor my wife and children.

My question: Is there anything I can do? Should I just write a letter to INS explaining my
situation or is there any specific INS form that I have to use. Should I approach an
immigration lawyer? My brother and sisters are willing to do whatever is necessary.

I will greatly appreciate any advice/suggestions/pointers. Thanks in advance,

Vinayak Chaudhari

With experience in computer science area, it may be possible to get a job in US.

It may also be possible to pursue a advanced degree in computer science in USA.
