·If a foreign person receives a Permanent Resident Card, may he or she own it for all time, even if that persons never lived or lives in the USA? --Abdull 14:46, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Actually you have to live for 6 months of a year in united states to maintain the "status" - ASH ARORA
NOT true! The 6 months rule is only relevant if you want to maintain continuous residence to be able to apply for naturalization. To maintain the greencard, you must not stay outside the US for more than 365 days at once. However, in order to even get it, you must travel to the US. You don't just get the greencard in the mail, you have to activate your visa. In addition, if you only go to the US once a year to keep your status, immigration officials WILL eventually take it away. It is intended for LIVING in the US, not for keeping it in a drawer in another country Denial land 18:23, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Is form I-9 required when signing a contract with an Independant Contractor on a 1099-MISC basis? This worker is not considered employee of the 'hiring' company....
I am a permanent resident & i have lived in the US since I was 2 years old (28 now). I want to travel to Mexico City for vacation, is my permanent resident card all I need to leave & return to the US? Or what other documentation do I need? Thanks, Claudia
I think the page could really do with a section or some links to methods of finding companies that will sponsor someone to go to the US for a Green card
Where can I find employers who can wait this long process? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eyas Hajeh (talk • contribs) 15:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC).
This article is missing that you need to apply for a SSN, after you get your Green Card.MarioV 23:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
I think SSN is a completely different topic altogether, that is separate from the greencard process. I mean you might as well start talking about health insurance or whatever... Denial land 10:30, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
An SSN is not needed unless you want to work or do other things that require a SSN. In fact, citizens don't even need a SSN to work. There is no law that says that they do. There is a law that says that legal immigrants and non-immigrants need a SSN to work. And since most permanent residents do some sort of work, they'll need a SSN. I agree that it is not necessary to include it in this topic. - Ryan 19:44, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
I reverted the talk page to its former glory. If you are trying to clean up the page in general, please sign in, explain why you're making the change, and add an edit summary. Otherwise it's hard to distinguish from vandalism. SkepticVK 23:41, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Quite a few of the comments here seem to deal with specific immigration situations or law. There are a ton of forums which cover this stuff, e.g. murthy.com, immigrationvoice.org, and immigrationportal.com, which I think have all been mentioned already. I'm sympathetic to helping people out, but this page is intended to be a forum to improve the article. Does anyone have any objections to me cleaning up this talk page?

I rated the article B-class for the following reasons:
To reach A- or GA-class, I would say the article should go through the 'good article nomination' procedure, and that it could benefit from simplifying some of the text since it's quite dense to read. The article might also benefit from some graphical descriptions of the process (simple flowchart?). I'm sure there are more things to add. I rated the article Mid-importance, since this is a specific topic in immigration, but I wouldn't call it highly specific. SkepticVK (talk) 08:29, 20 December 2007 (UTC) |
