Yesterday, I asked Mama to write a letter to the US Embassy pertaining her decision to surrender her PR. For one, to legally put in writing her desire to abandon her Permanent Residency. In this case, she will be granted a Tourist Visa anytime she wants to go for a visit. Lucky enough, my husband read somewhere in the web that just writing a letter is not considered. The legal process is to complete and submit the Form I-407.
Mama and I went to the US Consular Agency located in Waterfront Hotel Lahug. With a short interview by the Consulate of why such decision, Mama was asked to surrender her GC to the US Embassy in Manila before the 20th of July. That will be this monday. The Consulate assures entry as a tourist. She is going to fill up the I-407 before applying for the Tourist Visa which the Consulate assured will be granted 100% for Mama.
This is a very great news for my brother and sister in the US. Mama's case is a good example for other people who have or is planning to abandon their Green Card!
