父母終於拿到綠卡了!先謝謝8老師和各位老師的幫助。
現在父母打算回國,有幾個問題想再次請教各位老師:
⑴父母打算9月中回國,3月初再來美國,約5個多月。是否持綠卡和護照即可合法地出入境?
-Yes.
還是需要其實的文件?
⑵有一說綠卡持有者每年要在美國至少居留6個月,是這樣嗎?怎麽計算的呢?
-The principle is that the green card is used for live in US permenantly, not used as border-crossing card. So, it is fine occasionally to travel and stay outside US for less than one year, but not travel too often.
⑶需要給他們申請social security number嗎?
-Yes.
⑷他們需要報稅嗎?父母都年過70,已退休,在美無工作,與我同住。
-Had better do that.
謝謝。
