Anastasia Tonello sets out how to maintain green card status

2 August 2018

Managing Partner and head of the US immigration practice Anastasia Tonello provides an overview of the key considerations when maintaining legal permanent residence (LPR) status in the US. LPR status, often known as ‘green card’ status, is not truly permanent and can be lost by individuals who fail to maintain certain requirements. Anastasia warns of the common pitfalls for green card holders when maintaining their status in the US, along with essential advice for those wishing to spend extended periods of time outside of the US.
