I become US citizen ,can be use this like an opportunity for my son ?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Unfortunately, becoming a U. S. citizen will not benefit your son’s case as the current availability date for the F-2B category for unmarried sons or daughters over the age of 21 of a permanent resident is shorter than that for the F-1 category of unmarried sons or daughters over the age of 21 of a U. S. citizen. In the month of August 2016, the current availability date of the F-2B category for most countries of the world is 1/8/10 while the F-1 category is behind that 5/22/09. If you wish, your son can communicate with U.S.C.I.S. to preserve the F-2B category listing.

Answered by attorney William D. Fong (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Fong Ilagan
No. The adult child of a US citizen is an FB-1 and the current visa priority date for that preference classification is August 2005. If the daughter is married, she is an FB-3 and the current visa priority date is May 2002.

Will I be able to return to the US and if yes how would I do that?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
With very few exceptions specified in the Regulations (including for certain people stationed abroad by their U.S. employers or by the U.S. government, for certain religious workers and for a few others) Permanent Resident status is intended only for people who actually reside in the United States. If immigration authorities conclude that you reside in the UK and only visit in the U.S. from time to time - even if you have no single absence of 180 days or longer - you may be deemed to have abandoned your residence in the U.S. and to have abandoned your Permanent Resident status. In that event, your "Green Card" indeed may be in jeopardy. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.
