(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /var/www/sites/lawfirmbackup_200125/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6131Green Card holders should apply for US naturalization as soon as they are eligible. Why the rush to “should” instead of “may at their leisure”? Because US citizenship cannot be lost, while permanent resident status can be revoked. Naturalization for Green Card Holders may allow them to hold on to their life in the US under difficult circumstances.<\/p>\n
Green Card holders need to reside in the US and make it the center of their lives. If they do not, they risk losing their permanent resident status and their Green Card. It often happens that Green Card holders need to return to their home country to be with their families or for work reasons. We hear countless stories of Green Card holders who left the US thinking they were going for a short period but ended up staying abroad for years and lost their Green Cards. On the other hand, US citizens are not required to live in the US and can live abroad for as many years as they want.<\/p>\n
Even if you never leave the US, there is a possibility that you could lose your Green Card and be deported from the US, such as due to a criminal conviction. Those who do not renew their Green Card on time or fail to do so may lose their permanent resident status and be deported. US citizens do not need to renew their US passport if they do not intend to leave the country.<\/p>\n
