Do American green card holders have to stay in the United States 180 days a year? Does this 180 day return to zero in June 65438+February every year or?

Generally speaking, during the period of 1 year, you can stay abroad for no more than 6 months without any problems. If you stay abroad for more than 6 months and less than 1 year, the Immigration Bureau will think that you have the intention to give up your permanent resident status. In fact, immigration may not find out, but once they find out that you don't actually live in the United States, they will expel you.

If you expect to stay abroad for more than 1 year, you should apply for a re-entry permit in advance, valid for 2 years. If you can't return to the United States before the re-entry permit expires, or if you didn't apply for a re-entry permit before you left the United States, but stayed outside the United States for more than 65,438+0 years, you may be able to obtain a special resident visa for returning to the State Council.

The calculation of the date is that from the day you leave the country, your passport will be stamped with a date when you leave the US Customs, and there will be a date when you enter the US Customs. The difference between these two dates cannot exceed 6 months in a year.
