How long can I stay in China every year after I get the American green card?

The United States can stay in China for more than half a year with a green card, but not more than one year.

Although getting the American green card is actually a citizen of China, because he still holds a China passport. In fact, if you get a green card from the United States, you can go back to China without a visa, and your passport is also a China passport, so you don't need a visa to enter China.

However, if you become an American citizen, change your nationality and become an American citizen, you need a visa to return to China. At present, only three countries can enter China visa-free for two weeks. The three countries are Japan, Brunei and Singapore. In other words, other countries must obtain visas to enter China.

You can only apply for American citizenship if you have obtained a green card for more than 5 years, so that your passport can be changed to the United States. Only in this way can we be regarded as real American citizens. These five years are often called "immigration supervision". In five years, you must live in the United States for more than 30 months to qualify for American citizenship.

If you have been away from this country for more than one year, you should recalculate this time from the day you return to the United States. So that means you can go back to China, but you can't go back to China for more than a year. If it's more than a year, the time spent living in front doesn't count. From the date of re-entering the US border, immigration supervision must be re-accepted.
