Hello: After 1 year, you cannot enter the U.S. again on the Green Card unless you can show there was no abandonment. To request the abandonment of residence When a legal permanent resident has been outside the U.S. for over a year, you can no longer enter their Legal Permanent Resident Card. In this case, it is necessary that the application for abandonment of residence is not present. We should develop a legal report and statements, affidavits, medical reports, and all other supporting documents to show why residents do not return to the U.S. assigned in the year. Supporting documents more we have to justify the criticism that the resident did not return to the U.S., the chances of success. Once the application is prepared and presented, it usually takes one to three months to get a decision.

As long as your entry into the US was legal (e.g., visitor visa), then you could come, stay, get married, and apply for your green card. I would recommend waiting at least 30 to 60 days after your last entry before getting married. And of course, consult an immigration attorney before doing anything.

It is true that there is a waiting period for LPR's until the priority date becomes current, while there is no waiting periods for U.S. citizens. A possibility would be for your husband to petition your children as his stepchildren. I suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your case, advise you of your options and, if possible, make sure that the necessary paperwork and documentation is presented so as not to delay the process.
