I've been reading and would like to see if any member can clarify.My Thai wife has an American green card which after living in Thailand,say 3 years,would be invalid.She would be eligible for a 10 year tourist visa upon surrendering her green card,allowing her 3 months visits to see our grown children(American citizens).My concern is if something should happen to me and she went back on a 3 month visit and our children filed an I-130(petition for alien registration)and applies for permanent residence while she was in the country legally would she be allowed to stay in the United States with our children during the wait or sent back to Thailand and the approximate 12 month wait alone?Would it be held against her surrendering her green card(after 3+ years)or forgiven because of the children's sponsorship?Anybody out there have the same thoughts?Know someone who's been through it?Ben Hart,any advice?

Thanks Thai Visa members
