Green card?
Answer:
The Green Card is called the United States Permanent Resident Card.
The difference between a conditioned permanent resident and an unconditioned permanent resident is that your permanent resident status will expire in two years from when it was given, unless you successfully petition to have the condition removed.
The Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551, is issued to all Permanent Residents as evidence of alien registration and their permanent status in the US. The card must be in your possession at all times. This requirement means that you are not only required to have a currently valid Form I-551 at all times, but also that you must carry your currently valid Form I-551 on your person at all times. The Permanent Resident Card currently is issued with a 10-year validity. You status as a Permanent Resident does not expire with the 10-year validity. Only the card expires. The card is only valid up to the expiration date and must be renewed before it expires.
A Conditional Permanent Resident is issued a card valid for two years. In order to remain a Permanent Resident, the Conditional Permanent Resident must file a petition to remove the condition during the 90 days before the card expires. The conditional card cannot be renewed. The condition must be removed or you lose your permanent resident status. (See Form I-751 and Form I-829.)
pff go for citizenship then who cares how long
You can stay on a green card indefinitely as long as you register when due. I waited 20 years before becoming an American even though I served 14 years in the American Army as a British Subject.
Hubby's expires after 2 yrs then we have to go and apply for perment residence. Not exactly sure how long that one will be good for. But good question.

No, it's called residency and it's perfectly legal not to become a citizen.
