As long as you won't be travelling outside US, do you need to renew your green card every 10 years on dates?

Yes, it must be renewed because you must always carry a valid one with you.

Yes it could... you shouldn't have travel for more than six months, a year is too much if you didn't had a permit, you could even have lost the residence, and  to become a citizen you need to prove that you haven't been out of the US for more than 900 days during the previous five years...

Get it renewed, don't just blow it off and risk getting caught later.\n\nIf you're deported from the U.S., you usually can't (legally) come back for a decade, if at all.

It depends on why you are coming to Canada--if you are intending to move here as a permanent resident, there are limits to how often you can leave the country for your first year here.

Do NOT leave the U.S. for more than a year or you will be deemed as abandoning your residency. If you must go, you need to apply for a re-entry permit from USCIS.

It depends on if you have citizenship or green card. If you have citizenship 4 to 6 months. If you have a green card 10 to 11 years.

Maybe you shouldn't have let your visa expire.

First of all let me clarify:  If the validity date on you card is expired then it does not mean that you have become illegal. It's just that the document has expired but your immigration status is intact. You need to file form I-90 to get a replacement card. Go to the following link for complete instruction on how to apply for a replacement green card.\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-90.htm\n\nSince you are in status you can get an employment.\n\nNow the other situation could be that you are out of status that means that you have been outside of US for more than 1 year.  In that case you can apply for a Returning Resident Visa at your near east US embassy or Consulate.

When you get a green card by marrying an American citizen you get under a 2-year condition.  The INS does this to assure that marriages are real and not fake.  \n\nYou say your friend has been married for more than 2-years.  The "key" to her keeping her green card is if she's had her meeting with the INS to remove the condition.  If this has happened then her green card can not be taken away because of the divorce.  If the condition is still on her green card then it will be taken away if she gets divorced.\n\nIf she gets divorced and does not have the condition removed her green card will expire and she will be an illegal alien.  Legally she should leave before her card expires.

As a British citizen who lived abroad, the addition of finger prints to your passport will make no difference, as you had to come back to the UK to renew it anyway. If you live 300 miles away, then you have to travel 300 miles!

You cannot essentially live here year round. Even if you can support yourself, you will be viewed as an immigrant without proper documentation. You could be refused entry and then would need permission to ever come for any period of time or reason.

There is no limit - you can stay out of the US for as long as you want.  But I think you meant how long can a US permanent resident stay out of the US WITHOUT losing the greencard.  \n\nFrom my experience, 6 months is recommended as a guideline to all my clients.  Beyond that, you risk losing your greencard when you try to enter the border.  \n\n6 months is recommended because it is the cut-off line in establishing continuous residency when you apply for naturalization (citizenship).  If you are absent for more than 6 months, your continuity breaks and you need to wait a longer period before applying.  \n\nTherefore, it would appear that 6 months should be a safe period.  Many permanent residents purposefully "visit" the US every 6 months to maintain their status.  \n\nHowever, if you do need to be abroad for more than 6 months, I recommend that you apply for a Reentry Permit.  (see link below).  It'll allow you to re-enter after extended absence.

Passports expire after 10 years, so your old one is already invalid - no need to cancel.

You should have thought about that before going AWOL. Contact the office where you get your green card renewed they should be able to help you.
