A: You can apply for a green card again if you legally qualify for it. That means that should you get married, your boyfriend can sponsor you for a new green card, but the process will start from the beginning. The surrender of your previous green card is not necessarily an impediment to a new application, although it might raise a red flag.

A: Once he is married, he can file a visa petition on your behalf. Then you can apply for a new green card.
