If you or someone you know is a green card holder you may want to pay close attention to this article as there are some new laws going into effect that could get permanent residents deported.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has instituted some new rules that will take effect in 2020.
The new green card rules for 2020 include:
- - Failing to admit you’re an immigrant on your tax returns or failing to report some of your income could get you deported
- Men between the ages of 18 and 25 who hold a green card must register with the U.S. Selective Service; failure to do so could lead to deportation
- An extended overseas vacation could cost someone their green card - it could be considered "abandonment" of the green card
A simple mistake is no longer an excuse.
