Can my green card be taken away if I don't live in the U.S?
Answer:
Yes.
You can be out for up to (but not more than) one year if you have an excellent reason, but on every re-entry to the US you must prove that you are still actually living in the US, and your ties are there.
Look about halfway down this page, where it talks about maintaining permanent residency:
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/m...
And yes, they have many, many ways of knowing when you left.
A "Green card" refers to the card given to "Lawful Permanent Residents." If you do not live in the US then you stop being a "Permanent Resident."
It is simple, if you are approved and want to live here, then you get a green card. If you don't get approval OR you don't want to permanently live here, then you don't get a green card.
Jeffrey is right!
Yes. If you leave for more than a certain amount of time you have to file w/ uscis, and I think the MOST you can be gone for even with that is a year (and it might be six months.) You have to file in advance of leaving to be gone that long, even.
Go to uscis.gov for the details.
Yes, that shows that you are not living in the US.
Yes. There is a residency requirement. And there are a million ways to find out if you've been here or not. Chance it if you want to.
