Do you need to live in the United States for a long time after you get a green card?

Did not say that the United States is sitting in an immigration prison. To keep the green card, it mainly depends on whether the investor has the intention of staying in the United States permanently. This intention can be understood through the behavior of investors. If an investor has stronger social ties with the United States than with other countries, it can show his intention to stay in the United States permanently. Immigration officials will consider the investor's work, tax returns, driver's license, credit card, residence, children's schooling and spouse's family life to determine whether there is a strong social connection with the United States.

According to American immigration law, if a person leaves the United States for more than one year without an approved "re-entry permit", his permanent resident status (green card) is regarded as abandonment. If a person leaves the United States for more than six months and less than one year, his permanent resident status (green card) will be assumed to be abandoned, but the green card holder can submit a document to refute it. If a person has been away from the United States for less than six months, his permanent resident status (green card) will be regarded as not giving up, unless the Immigration Department can clearly prove otherwise.

Green card holders don't need to live in America all the time. In order to avoid trouble, it is best not to leave the United States for more than six months at a time. If you want to leave the United States for more than one year, you must submit an application for re-entry permit in advance. The maximum departure time of the "Re-entry Permit" cannot exceed 2 years.
