has anyone received one of these??????

Ive had a couple of emails from people about this, it sounds horrendous.

opinions please

No, a greencard is for life, as long as you comply with the aforementioned requirements. The actual card itself expires after 10 years to protect against counterfitting and tampering.

In 1989 INS initiated the 10 year expiration date on greencards. Even if you fail to renew it after 10 years you will not lose your permanent residency status, however you are required by law to carry evidence of your status eg. valid unexpired GC or temporary proof of status you receive at the time of filing for your renewal. After filing I-190 (application to replace a permanent residency card), you will be issued with the new one in 10-12 months, the temporary proof of status is valid for a year.

How Do I Renew My Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)?

Sorry, but green card is not for life if you do not meet the reuqirements for it. If you do not reside in the US for a certain time frame during the tiem period, it doe swnot have to be renewed by immigration, and I have seen it happen many times in the past.

Example: children come here with their parents, and get a green card, finish school here, etc, then decide to return home for some reason, when they wish to return they need to go thru the green card process again, as they did live in the US for the required amount of time. You see this all of the time on the Philippine Forum.

Everyone that I know that has a green card, and has not gotten US citizenship renews is every five years and they still do that, even last year.

I did post a link on reply #80 of this thread showing what you have to comply to in order to maintain your permanent status. Here it is again:

Hi, everyone, I've been reading all the posts here as I'm planning to go to New Jersey in the near future. I've been trying to find a agency to help with the paperwork. Adevia sounds a good one as they do direct hospital hires, but they haven't got any hospitals in NJ. The staff told me they could find me a job there through one of the agencies in US (not sure if any opt out fees apply). OGP has hospitals in NJ, but the opt out fee is $8000 after Nclex and $25,000 after arriving in US. I'm getting confused now. Which agency should I choose? Please please give your opinions!! Thank you a billion!

I think you will find that OGP have increased their costs to over $40,000 if you opt out once out in the US and this has been discussed a lot in this thread. Why do it with agency when can be done by yourself and approaching hospitals in NJ?

If you can afford to pay the upfront costs DONT go with an agency, go it alone, you'll find all the help you need here. There are some direct hire hospitals in NJ that I know of: Atlantic Health System in Florham Park, Bayonne Medical Center in Bayonne, Meridian Health System in Neptune and St Barnabas HealthCare System in Livingstone to name but a few.

Goodluck

Thanks everybody! The upfront fee is not a problem for me, but don't really fancy the stress and the mess. Will it be quicker/ easier if I do it alone? Has anybody gone through this way? Any discussions/ advices will be gratefully appreciated.

currently doing it myself with assistance of a recruiter, found it much better as I am going to where I want to go, no guarantees with agency, wasn't as expensive as I thought and hospital is refunding me all costs including my flights to the US when I had to sit NCLEX, that was before done in the UK. A lot of hospitals will petition you once you have passed NCLEX rather than before.
