What is the new law for Green Card holders?
If you have a green card and do not report yourself on your tax return as an immigrant or are out of the country for an extended period of time, the new laws mean that your citizenship application or green card might be declined and you may even be deported.
There are many types of Green Cards, so you should be very careful when choosing them. The type of Green Card should be chosen on the basis of who can sponsor your stay. If your spouse is an American resident, then apply for a Green Card Marriage, if you have a close family member, then a Family-based Visa is the right one for you, if you want to move to America through work, then you have the Green Card Employment Visa available, and if none of that applies to you, then you can apply for Asylum!
