So when he went to the US Embassy in Guyana they asked him questions and he forgot all about the case almost 15 years ago so they denied him would this affect the i-130a form?

It appears he was denied due to a misrepresentation. If so he might need a waiver. Misrepresentation cases are complex matters. I would need to know what type of visa he applied for and a copy of the denial he was given at the embassy to answer you more adequately. You can contact me at... View More

Your case is very complex and usually when you remain outside the USA for 8 years you are considered to have abandoned your LPR status. However, the final decision is up to the Immigration Judge. I strongly suggest you hire an immigration lawyer because these are not easy cases.
