My father had h1b. (My sisters born in the states have citizenship) Would this be a 100% citizenship if he was a h1b and not a citizen?
If he was a citizen I could be able to reclaim.
I did not have the h-4 visa either, because I had a SSN (still have it and it is still valid).

This is all very confusing. First you said your father had a green card, then you say he had H1B - which is not at all a permanent visa.
The AA-1 visa, from what I can tell, seems to have been the forerunner of the current "diversity" lottery. But if he moved you all back to Norway after seven years, I suspect he forfeited his immigrant status and any claim you would have at this late date to an immigrant visa. But contact the closest US Consulate and ask.
