EB1 - stay requirements

Submitted by Chief Editor on

Is there any rule that necessitates an EB1 Green Card holder to stay for a certain number of days in the USA every year? I travel frequently to various parts of the world for concerts or professional business. Will this impact on my Green Card status in anyway? I still file my taxes in the USA though.

ANSWER: 

All green card holders are required to make USA their permanent home. Otherwise, their green card can be taken away. Look into the option of reentry permit.
