Immigration Forum / USA / July 2009Losing Perm. Residence?
Hi, I live in Canada and have received US permanent residence, however I have not relocated to the US yet, and it's been over a year. I have read somewhere that after a year of absence from US you lose your status. Would this be the case with me? I have not actually moved there yet, although at the time of receiving the status, it is understood that you WILL be relocating at that time. What potential problems would I face when I finally relocate? Please advise.. Thank you. zeroctrl wrote on 07/03/09 09:52: > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > at that time. > What potential problems would I face when I finally relocate? How did you "receive Permanent Residence"? Do you have an Immigrant Visa? That's invalid after 1/2 year. Do you have the actual GC? That's invalid for entry after 1 year. A PR has to actually reside in the US. Did you file US taxes? A PR has to file US taxes as resident. Failing to do so is strong evidence of abandoning the GC. -Joe  SignatureI am not a lawyer.

Hi, yes, I have received the GC, but never ended up relocating to the US as planned. If I were to try to relocate to the US in a couple of years time, would I basically have to reapply for the permanent residence? zeroctrl wrote on 07/06/09 10:02: > Hi, yes, I have received the GC, but never ended up relocating to the > US as planned. > If I were to try to relocate to the US in a couple of years time, > would I basically have to reapply for the permanent residence?
