One of the conditions to maintain lawful US permanent resident status (LPR or Green Card holders) is to maintain and have permanent residence in the United States. In general, a green card holder who moves outside the United States making another country their permanent residence abandons their green card. However, there are exceptions for US permanent residents who commute to the United States for employment from Canada or Mexico. We discuss, “commuter status” for US permanent residents who commute from Canada or Mexico here.
If you are a green cardholder temporarily residing abroad and have recently welcomed a baby, congratulations! However, it’s vital to be aware of an important requirement regarding your child’s entitlement to lawful permanent residence in the United States. Failure to comply with this requirement within two years of your child’s birth could jeopardize their automatic right to permanent residence, leading to a complex and time-consuming immigration process. In this article, we will explain the necessary steps you need to take to safeguard your child’s status. Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered!
