Our whole family received our conditional green cards via the EB-5 program. Now we have decided to give up our green cards. We are residing in China and I was told that we could do this in person at the USCIS Beijing or Guangzhou Field Offices. Do my wife and my daughter (over 21) need to go to those offices in person to complete their paperwork? I am the main applicant on the application.

Immigration attorneysThe family only needs to abandon its conditional green cards by filing Form I-407. No fee is needed and you can file it at the nearest U.S. consulate or embassy to you. As the main applicant, you can file the form on behalf of the entire family.
