Q: I was denied a green card because I overstayed in the US. It is now 10 years, do I have to reapply?

A: Reapplying isn’t the main issue. The real question is: What will happen if you reapply for your green card? Whether you will succeed depends on the basis of your application and whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
You should also check if the denial of your initial application led to removal or deportation proceedings. This is especially important if you moved without notifying the Department of Homeland Security of your new address.
Understanding your situation before reapplying is essential. I recommend consulting an immigration attorney to discuss your case and explore all available options. The attorney can help you determine the best course of action for reapplying.
