“I don’t think green cards are indefinite.”
No, my Canadian GF is a green-card holder. It’s only for 10 years. Normally, people go to citizenship before it expires but I do know some green-card holders who have been here 30 years and they still are green-card holders. All they do is keep renewing. Their decision..
A green card gives assurance that the holder can return to country of origin to pick up residence if he so desires.
A green card gives assurance that the holder can return to country of origin to pick up residence if he so desires.A green card gives legal residence in the States without having to renege on his original citizenship thereby having the chance to return to his country of origin. He is getting the best of both worlds. Once an immigrant accepts US citizenship he is no longer welcome to return to his country of origin.
One of my step-sisters included. She's been married to an American (he's an asshole) for over 40 years now but retains her Canadian citizenship while renewing her green card whenever it's required.........
