Maintaining U.S. Permanent Resident Status and Options and Recommendations…

A U.S. Permanent Resident Card (“Green Card”) is a privilege many wait years to obtain, and sometimes pay a lot of money for, and something many can only dream of obtaining.  Although a Green Card allows a person to live, work, and travel in/to the United States, a Green Card has some important limitations.  One important limitation Green Card holders should be aware of is associated with the concept of “abandonment of residency;” failure to properly understand this concept can lead to the U.S. government taking away a Green Card holder’s U.S. permanent resident status.  For part one of this article, discussing the “abandonment of residency” concept, click on the following link: https://uscg.attorneyngo.com/blog/maintaining-u-s-permanent-resident-status-and-options-and-recommendations-to-prevent-abandonment-of-u-s-residency-part-1-of-2/.  In part two of this article, options and recommendations to prevent a U.S. government finding of abandonment of U.S. residency will be discussed.
