No Continuous Residence? Green Card Renewal Options

Renewing your green card usually requires staying in the US. But what if you haven't? Here's the breakdown:

• Continuous Residence is Key: Generally, you need to prove you've lived in the US continuously since becoming a permanent resident.

• Exceptions Exist (Sometimes): Reentry permits, military service, or US government work might qualify you for exceptions.

• Absence Might Mean Abandonment: Extensive time outside the US without a permit could be seen as abandoning your residency, making renewal difficult.

• Other Options Available: If renewal is tricky, consider a returning resident visa (SB-1 visa) from a US embassy abroad.

• Talk to an Immigration Attorney: Unsure about your eligibility? An attorney can assess your situation and guide you through renewal options or explore alternatives.
