Do you have to live in the United States after you get a green card?

First of all, American investment immigrants get a green card without settling down, and the green card will be revoked because of insufficient immigration tendency. You have an American green card and must stay in the United States for more than 18 days every year. If you sometimes need to stay outside for more than six months in a row, please be prepared, and you may encounter different treatment when you enter the country and become naturalized. Because you need to clarify your "immigration tendency", you may receive a "warning", verbally or marked on your passport (ARC 6 mos). If you live outside for more than one year, you must first fill out I-131 to apply for a white paper (leave the country after printing your fingerprints), unless there are irresistible reasons. Without white paper protection, the green card will be taken away when you enter the country after one year, and you need to go to court to get it back. Even with the white paper as a talisman, if you stay outside for too long, it may affect your entry, the maintenance of your green card and your future regularization. Some green card holders scratch the edge and return to the United States once every six months for a short stay, thinking that they can keep their green cards. But pay attention to the following points: ? 2? ? 2? ? 2 (1) It is almost certain that you will lose your green card if you leave the country for more than one year, unless it can be proved at the hearing held by the immigration judge that it is indeed caused by irresistible factors. ? ? 2? ? 2? ? 2 (2) Staying for more than 6 months, but less than one year, may be warned by the customs at the time of entry and marked on the passport to remind the officials who will enter the country next time, but the first time will usually not lead to the cancellation of the green card. ? ? 2? ? 2? ? 2 (3) The key lies in whether the customs has given up the feeling of permanent residence in the United States. Sometimes, even if it is less than six months overseas, it will only stay in the United States for a short time every time, which may also lead to a warning or even revocation of the green card. For example, a Hong Kong lady came back for five months and her passport was added.
