Attorney Lorena Rivas explains three ways you can lose your green card: criminal convictions, staying abroad too long without a re-entry permit, or letting a conditional green card expire. Having permanent resident status doesn't protect you from deportation.

Having a green card does not mean you can't get deported. Green cards can be taken away for certain criminal convictions, even old ones. Also, long trips outside the U.S. without the right permit, a conditional green card that's never been renewed. If any of these apply to you, call us before it becomes an emergency.
