What every resident should know
Obtaining permanent residency in the United States is a great achievement, but many people are unaware that they can lose their Green Card if they do not meet certain legal and personal requirements, especially during the first five years.
In this article we explain the most common reasons why permanent residency can be revoked, how to act in time and what resources are available if you are going through a difficult immigration situation.
Reasons for cancellation of your Green Card
During the first five years as a permanent resident, the authorities may review the process by which the Green Card was obtained. If irregularities or legal violations are found, the status may be revoked.
| Cause | Details |
|---|---|
| Immigration fraud | False information or omission of important data during the application process |
| Criminal charges | Certain crimes may jeopardize residency |
| Violation of terms and conditions | Prolonged departures from the country without permission, changes in relationship with petitioner, etc. |
| Double intention | If the government suspects that the applicant did not have the actual intent to live in the U.S., the applicant may be able to apply for a U.S. visa. |
