Can I bring my family to immigrate after getting a green card in the United States?

When entering the United States, permanent residents must use a valid immigrant visa and a valid passport of their home country, otherwise they are not allowed to enter the United States. After having an American green card, as long as you leave the United States for less than one year, the green card itself can be regarded as a valid entry immigrant visa, and you don't need to apply for a visa at the American embassy or consulate.

The definition of "permanent residency" in American immigration law is: "According to the immigration law, the privilege of" permanently residing in the United States as an immigrant "has been granted, and this status has not changed." In other words, if the green card owner changes his identity, his permanent residency will be immediately eliminated.

Therefore, if a permanent resident inadvertently uses an inconsistent identity (for example, filing tax returns as a non-resident), his permanent resident status will be terminated at the same time. In addition, according to the case law of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, giving up (such as settling in another country) can automatically lose permanent resident status without first filling out the form or passing the judgment of the immigration court.

Green card processing requirements:

1. When the information on the permanent residence card needs to be changed, it needs to be replaced, or the permanent residence card needs to be replaced if it is lost, damaged or stolen.

2. If the green card is destroyed due to the quality problem of the green card itself, the application fee can be exempted. If you don't receive a new green card within 6 months after application, you need to apply for a replacement green card.

3. If the green card of a permanent resident is lost, stolen, completely destroyed or partially damaged, it must be reapplied. If the applicant's green card is lost overseas, the applicant must report the loss to the overseas immigration office or consulate and apply for a boarding letter.
