Hi ****! A permanent resident whose green card has expired still retains their status as a permanent resident. However, they need to have a valid green card to show proof of their status when working or traveling. Here's what you should know:
- Permanent Status: Your permanent resident status doesn't expire, but the green card does.
- Employment Verification: Employers need to see an unexpired green card to verify your right to work.
- Renewal: You should renew your green card as soon as possible.
Have you already applied for a renewal, or do you need information on how to do that?
