No one can use green card information to help immigrants come into this country. A card-holder may legally help his family in but not until he receives an immigration visa. A green card has the picture of the person on it, the photo is updated often, and only the permanent member can carry it. It will be needed to show any USCIS officer that asks to see it. It is also continually updated with anti-counterfeit devices. An immigrant must go through a 3-step process to get a green card (from Wikipedia):
"An immigrant usually has to go through a three-step process to get the green card, which entitles him/her to live and work permanently in the United States. The whole process may take several years depending on the type of application and the country of origin.
In the first step, USCIS approves the immigrant petition by a qualifying relative, an employer, or in rare cases such as with an investor visa, the applicant. If a sibling is applying, it must be a nuclear relative with the same parents as the applicant.
Second, unless the applicant is an "immediate relative", an immigrant visa number through the State Department must be available. This number might not be immediately available even if the USCIS approves the petition because the amount of immigrant visa numbers is limited every year. There are also certain additional limitations by country. Thus, most immigrants will be placed on lengthy waiting lists. Those immigrants who are immediate relatives are not subjected to the limited quotas of immigrant visas and may proceed to the next step immediately. Immediate relatives are defined as spouses and children under 21 of U.S. citizens, and parents of a U.S. citizen who is 21 or over.
Finally, when an immigrant visa number is available, the applicant must apply with USCIS to adjust their current status to permanent resident status. If the applicant is outside the U.S., he/she has to apply for an immigrant visa at the nearest U.S. consulate before being allowed to come to the U.S."
A permanent residence card may also be obtained through an employer. The employer would sponsor the agreement and once the immigrant has gone through the process above - which takes many years - he must take the job to substantiate his legal status.
It is impossible to rent a green card. Even a child could catch that more than one person is using the same card, that the photos don't match. The anti-counterfeit devices are always current. I don't believe I have ever heard of a documented case where someone has shared their green card information - in order to do that they must send the card to a friend/relative in the country of origin and that person will be caught the moment he attempts to use it, as will the cardholder who sent it in the first place, and they will both be deported immediately if not kept in jail for awhile first.
I do not see a need to call USCIS (of which the INS has become a part) because it is impossible for the man to help anyone using his green card. Green card fraud has been attempted by many INS agents to extort money from applicants. They charge them to fill out a form for a fake green card lottery and then keep the money. They tell immigrants that their application will be sent to the top of the list. This is always a lie. Most often, those applications are never sent through the proper channels, if at all.
Hope this answers your question. I'm not sure what your neighbor is saying but it is impossible for him to use his green card to allow others into the country.
All the best.
