I have been out of the U.S. for almost a year and did not file an I-131 before I left. Due to COVID-19, I probably will not be able to get back to the U.S. My son is currently in the U.S. The conditions on our green cards have not been removed yet. Could he lose his status if my green card is considered abandoned?

Make sure you can document that you have made attempts to return if you want to show that you were barred by circumstances beyond your control.
