green card?

Question

How long can one live in the US with a Green Card? Does it expire if one does not apply for US citizenship?

Thanks , I have the Permanent resident card, having gone through the two year Conditional period, so I guess I'm okay. Thanks

Answer 1

The Green Card is called the United States Permanent Resident Card.

The difference between a conditioned permanent resident and an unconditioned permanent resident is that your permanent resident status will expire in two years from when it was given, unless you successfully petition to have the condition removed.

The Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551, is issued to all Permanent Residents as evidence of alien registration and their permanent status in the US. The card must be in your possession at all times. This requirement means that you are not only required to have a currently valid Form I-551 at all times, but also that you must carry your currently valid Form I-551 on your person at all times. The Permanent Resident Card currently is issued with a 10-year validity. You status as a Permanent Resident does not expire with the 10-year validity. Only the card expires. The card is only valid up to the expiration date and must be renewed before it expires.

A Conditional Permanent Resident is issued a card valid for two years. In order to remain a Permanent Resident, the Conditional Permanent Resident must file a petition to remove the condition during the 90 days before the card expires. The conditional card cannot be renewed. The condition must be removed or you lose your permanent resident status. (See Form I-751 and Form I-829.)

Answer 3

You can stay on a green card indefinitely as long as you register when due. I waited 20 years before becoming an American even though I served 14 years in the American Army as a British Subject.

i wish you probably did no longer bypass to college in Korea as a resident of Korea as that would desire to have invalidated your eco-friendly Card. an everlasting resident of u.s. won't be able to even be a resident of Korea. i wish you already know that. you're meant to stay interior u.s. now. definite, you like a valid eco-friendly Card each and all of the time. you besides might might desire to hold it with you each and all of the time. that's the regulation.
