If I abandon my family-based GC, can my sponsor file another family-based case in the future, if needed?

Answer

If one’s GC status is abandoned, that does not stop her/him from regaining that status through a new GC case. However, if one has already gotten GC status through a family petition, the new case would start all over with a new priority date. (16.Jun.2014)
