Green Card Holder Laws Change in 2020

By Ella Bergquist January 20, 2020 (Updated January 20, 2020) 0 min. read
Green Card Laws

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced several laws that will take effect in 2020.

The new laws that go into effect in 2020 could get permanent residents deported if you don’t pay attention.

New Green Card Rules for 2020

Tax Returns

Failing to admit you’re an immigrant on your tax returns or failing to report some of your income could get you deported.

The U.S. Draft Selective Service

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

Overseas Vacations

An extended overseas vacation could cost someone their green card – it could be considered “abandonment” of the green card.

With the new changes, many are no longer willing to take the change of holding a green card. A Green Card must be renewed every ten years but now instead of renewing a green card, many are becoming U.S. citizens to avoid deportation.

Making a simple mistake with these three new rules are rules for deportation.

If you’re in fear of being deported you should consult with an immigration professional to determine what you should do to avoid deportation.

Bansuri was very helpful in helping me setup my consultation. She was able to confirm my appointment right away and develop a profile to make the process streamlined. There is a reason why my wife and I have used visa place in twice in the past!

Visaplace was very accommodating to all my questions and emails, and walked me through everything step by step. After many months and a lot of paperwork, I successfully became a permanent resident of Canada and am now living with my wife, the love of my life. They’re not terribly expensive compared to other immigration lawyers either.

I had a great experience speaking with Bansuri Pandya from VisaPlace. She was incredibly helpful in understanding my case and clearly explained the next steps. Bansuri was professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic, making the process much easier to navigate. She even assisted in booking my consultation quickly. Highly recommend her services for anyone needing immigration advice!

Our company needed to fast-track some documents to retain skilled international talent. After shopping around, we settled on partnering with VisaPlace to accomplish this as quickly and efficiently as possible, and they held up their end of the agreement quite well. We will use them again should the need arise.
