How to get travel documents?

Well my father has his green card since 1979 with no expiry date! and he did not travel to the states since 8 years! Is this green card still working or could be renewable? because i heard about some rules for such a green cards! please i need some help :)

Green cards are good for 10 years at which time you can either renew it or apply for citizenship.

Your dad green card is no longer valid to use to enter America...he been outside the United States too long. green card holders can be outside the USA for less than 1 year and two years with re-entry permit.

I have already answer your question--- technically speaking he is STILL a permanent resident of the United States until an Immigration Judge decides otherwise and he is well within his right apply for admission to enter the U.S. However since he has been out of the U.S. for 8 years-- he will have an impossible task of proving that he didn't abandon his status. Furthermore, as it stands right now he is not eligible to renew his green card! Yak_Rider--- we have both been around here a long time and we both know that you cannot decide when someone has abandoned their GC/Residency and nor can the CBP Officer at the Port of Entry-- only an Immigration Judge has such authority. However, like I stated--- it will be virtually impossible to prove otherwise in this case-- but they are still a PR until that judge says.

He abandoned his status many, many years ago by living outside the USA.

After being absent for 1 years, his residency is considered abandoned. If he were to travel to the United States, CBP would either: 1) keep the Green Card, and send him back home on the next plane, or 2) "parole" him into the United States, with the requirement to see an immigration judge. Being paroled in is not admitted, so if he failed to show up at the court date, he would be dead in the water for good. Basically, he needs to start over. The person who filed an I-130 petition for him in 1978 or '79 would have to do that again. P.S. CPG: If he's inside the U.S., it will take a judge's signature to terminate his LPR status. But since he's outside the U.S., asking for admission, it's within CBP's right to determine that he has abandoned his status which in such a case is a no-brainer and not even subject to arbitration. He cannot prove that he did not abandon his residency, as he abandoned his residency, clearly so. He isn't even eligible for an SB-1, unless he can prove that he was in a coma for the past 8 years.

technically its still valid ....and could be used if he had been away for under a year but after 8 year its long voided he could try to use it .. but may get in trouble

After a year it's gone.
