Maintaining your Permanent Resident Status<\/strong> is essential once you achieve it. Therefore, you must meet the requirements that the U.S. laws set to keep your Green Card and not to lose it.<\/p>\n

Obviously, one of the easiest ways to lose your Green Card<\/strong> is to abandon your permanent resident status. This happens when you live abroad permanently, so you leave the United States<\/strong>. What is more, you do it to give up your status.<\/p>\n

Ways to keep your Green Card<\/h2>\n

In the first place, you should not leave the United States for a year<\/strong>. Those Green Card<\/strong> holders who are absent for a whole year or longer will not be able to use their Permanent Resident<\/strong> Card to get into the United States.<\/p>\n

Only do it for a temporary purpose. For example, to take care of a relative, to work temporarily, or to attend school. Sometimes you are abroad and your stay needs to be delayed unexpectedly.<\/p>\n

Then, you will have to provide officers with compelling reasons for the delay. Another way to keep your Green Card<\/strong> is to file your federal income tax returns. And if applicable, any local or state tax return.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you a male of 18-26 Green Card holder?<\/h2>\n

If you are between the ages of 18 and 26<\/strong> and you are a male<\/strong>, you will need to register with the Selective Service<\/strong>. Bear in mind that this is a simple process and it can be completed online at: https:\/\/www.sss.gov\/<\/p>\n

Now, regardless of your age or gender, you must give your new address to USCIS<\/strong> within ten days of each time you move. In this way, they can easily reach you if they need to do so.<\/p>\n

Last, but not least, you should take good care of the important documents you have brought from your country. Make sure they are in a safe place. For example, a birth certificate, a passport, marriage or divorce certificate, diplomas to prove skills or training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
