Did I lose my Green Card forever? and other questions

Hi!

I have dual citizenship Canada and France. I also lived in the US from 3-18 years old. I have a Green Card that is going to expire in August 2022, but since I was 19 (I am currently 28) I have been living in Canada. Now I wish to return to the US, but for what I have been reading, it seems like I may not be able to re enter with my Green Card as it is considered "abandoned".

  1. Is there any way I can renew it or re enter the US to work? I do not own any property or have family there anymore. I moved to Canada to go to university and then I stayed for work.

  2. Can I renew my green card if I didn't sign an exit form or told the officials that I would not be returning in the next year when I left the US?

  3. Should I call immigration and tell them that I have a green card but I forgot to sign the exit form when I left the US 12 years ago?

  4. If I tell immigration now that I abandoned my green card status, and they revoke my green card, is that gonna affect me negatively in the future when applying for a TN visa or if I happen to win the green card lottery?

  5. Should I have been paying taxes in the US all this years even though I never worked there or lived there since I left?

Thank you for your help!

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
