How long you can have green card in US?

Answer 1

To obtain a green card there are many ways: through employment, a family member or marriage. You must be sponsored by a family member in the U.S. in order to apply for a Family-Based Green Card. To apply for an Employment-Based Green Card, a foreign applicant must be sponsored by a qualifying U.S. employer.

Individuals who obtain a Green Card through marriage to a U.S. Citizen are granted "Conditional" Green Card status, which is only valid for two years. Individuals who have been granted Conditional Green Card Status are required to apply to remove the Conditions on their Green Card within 90 days of the date that their Conditional Permanent Resident status expires.

Answer 2

I think it's time you went back home, isn't it?

Forget the guy above me. A green card is a non-formal term for "permanent residency". This means that once you get a green card, you are lawfully allowed to live and work in the United States indefinitely - there is no allotted time. However, according to the USCIS website, you CAN be revoked of your green card if you disobey certain rules and regulations that come with being a permanent resident. As long as you follow the regulations and don't leave the US for too long (a year I think), then you're good to go and can stay and work forever.
