Dear Sir,

Due to the 11 years you have been out of the United States, the USCIS will most likely decide that you have abandoned your permanent residence status in the U.S. However, because your children are U.S. Citizens they are eligible to sponsor you for immigration benefits.

You should consult with an experienced immigration lawyer to assess moving forward.
