How to live overseas with a green card?

Although green card holders can enter the United States with their green cards within 1 year after leaving the United States, many green card holders have the wrong idea that they can keep their green cards as long as they stay in the United States for a few weeks each year. This misunderstanding stems from the above provisions. Going back to the United States for a few weeks every year does not prove that green card holders have the intention to live permanently in the United States and the desire to maintain permanent resident status. Although some green card holders return to the United States for several weeks every year, their green cards are cancelled by the Immigration Bureau because they don't have enough contact with the United States to prove that the United States is their permanent residence. Obviously, whether the green card holder has the intention to live permanently in the United States or not, and whether he has the desire to remain a permanent resident does not depend on whether the green card holder has lived in the United States every year. But there are quite a few other factors that determine the wishes of green card holders. These factors include: 1. The length of stay outside the United States (the longer the time, the more attention should be paid); 2. The purpose of leaving the United States (the purpose of studying abroad, traveling, visiting relatives, etc. is slightly less dangerous than working abroad); 3. Whether to fill in the tax forms with the US Inland Revenue Department like American residents; 4. Whether to maintain a fixed contact with the United States, such as owning real estate, bank account, credit card, driver's license, etc. in the United States; 5. Does this person have any close relatives in America? 6. The person's work situation and location, such as whether his employer is an American employer or a foreign employer, and whether his work outside the United States is temporary, permanent or has a fixed term. Based on these factors, we suggest that foreigners who plan to live outside the United States and hold green cards should pay attention to the following precautions: 1. In any case, they must fill in the tax forms with the IRS as American residents. This does not mean that the green card holder actually has to pay taxes to the IRS, because the tax treaties concluded between the United States and foreign countries may exempt him from paying taxes to the United States. The global income of these green card holders should be reflected in the tax bill. 2. Keep your address in America. If you have a property, don't sell it easily. You can rent it. Keep your credit card, your driver's license and change them in time in the United States. If you are sent to work abroad by an American employer, you should get a letter from the employer confirming the working conditions and the length of time. If the working hours are uncertain, try to keep other contacts with the United States. If the green card holder is employed by a foreign employer, works for a specific project outside the United States, or works for a short time, he needs to obtain an employment contract and a certificate indicating the working conditions and length of time. If the working hours are uncertain, you should pay attention to keeping as many other contacts with the United States as possible. 4. Keep a bank account in the United States. Some employees who are sent abroad to work but still receive US dollar wages should ask their employers to deposit US dollars directly into their US dollar accounts. This often happens when they have just got a green card and have not established a foundation in the United States, but they have to take care of overseas business and relatives, for example, buying personal assets, managing the assets of deceased relatives, or taking care of sick family members.
