IF YOUR GREEN CARD EXPIRES does anyone know...?
Answer:
there is no set grace period, but i have renewed green cards for persons with cards expired from 1-6 years. These persons had no problems with the renewal process. But when renewing a card expired more than 1-2 years you could be asked to prove that you were not out of the U.S. for more than one year, this could cause you to lose your green card status.
no, once it is up, it is up. Go home
Hope this works for you:
Will I lose my permanent resident status if I do not renew my Green Card?
No, you will not lose your permanent resident status if you do not renew your Green Card–your permanent resident status will not expire or change. However, you are required by law to carry evidence of your status/registration (e.g. a valid, unexpired Green Card or the temporary proof of status you receive at the time of filing to renew your Green Card.)
What will happen if I do not renew my expiring Green Card?
If you fail to renew your expiring card, you may experience difficulties in obtaining employment, benefits and re-entry into the United States from abroad.
How do I apply to renew my Green Card?
Within six months of expiration, complete a Form I-90 "Application to Replace a Permanent Resident Card", which you can also obtain by calling 1-800-870-3676, or by submitting an online request to receive forms by mail. If you live in New York, Newark, Chicago, San Francisco, Houston, San Antonio, or El Paso, you may be able to apply by mail (although you will still eventually need to visit an USCIS office). In all other locations, you should submit your application in person to your nearest USCIS District office or Sub Office. For more details, see: Renew Your Expiring Green Card.
How can I obtain temporary proof of status while I wait to receive my new Green Card?
When you bring your application in person to the USCIS office, be sure to bring your passport, if you have one -- or bring one additional photograph so that a temporary document (a stamped Form I-94 with photograph) can be created and issued to you immediately.
NOTE: If you present an expired passport the USCIS will stamp it; however, it will not be acceptable for employment verification purposes. You may present to your employer an unexpired stamped passport or Form I-94 with photograph, or any of the other documents listed on the Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification Form). If you require temporary documentation for employment purposes, be sure to inform the USCIS officer of this fact.
How long will it be before I receive my new Green Card?
Currently, it takes about 10-12 months to receive your new Green Card. Your temporary proof of status will be valid for one year.
If you have a permanent green card (which expires every 10 years) then your status as a legal permanent resident does NOT expire. The card does expire, but not your legal status. Renew your card and all is well.
Amazing!!! Greencard expires after 10yrs by then you should have been a citizen,which takes 5yrs.i'm sorry,you might be from one of the countries that does not allow dual citizenship.
