What to do about overstay for more than a year for a green card holder?

Question

My mother had been diagnosed with severe mental depression and has been seeking professional help through Dr. Najum and Dr. in Karachi. For the pertaining reasons she has been neglecting flying back to America and flying in general. I made a trip back to Pakistan just to come get her and take her back. But since she, a green card holder has been stationed in Pakistan for more than a year her departure from Karachi has been disallowed. I was told by the airline representatives to contact the embassy regarding this matter. And now I am at your disposal seeking help to be able to take my mother back with me. Any information and help regarding this matter will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Who goes to Pakistan for medical help?

Answer 2

You need to talk to the embassy, as advised!  The issue is that if she went to Pakistan for treatment but did not expect it to take this long, she should be OK.  She will need documentation as such for the embassy.  Generally, if one is delayed etc. due to unforeseen medical reasons, you will be cut some slack.  If the treatment was always going to be this long, she is in trouble.

Answer 3

You're in a sticky situation, aren't you?

You're caught between the Law, and cheap hospital care.

If I were you, I would bundle your mother into a plane and get you two back to the US as soon as you can, of course after speaking to the American Consulate in Karachi to ensure you won't get turned back.

The fact of the matter is that if you're putting citizenship/residency/etc in the US in danger to save a few thousand greenbacks, you have your priorities desperately wrong...

Answer 4

She obviously wants to live in HER OWN COUNTRY....how about joining her?  Her depression would probably go away by having a normal family with all together in same town.....

Lust for money is poor excuse for splitting a family - it shows zero family values.....why does your mother have to be miserable just so YOU can have more money?
