Sometimes I wonder whether the green card should even expire since you're considered a "permanent resident" or even if it shouldn't be as simple as going to the Post office to renew your Green Card. If it's someone like me I could understand. Talking about ruining life just like only one Immigration officer can decide your fate at the airport. I still remember a scare I had when I first came to US. At the airport I realize I couldn't find my copy of the I-20 form from my school. I knew I had it and did everything to keep good track of it. Good thing it turned out it was in the enveloppe in which my plane ticket was and that the american airline Officer in Paris had put it there after checking my papers at the Charle De Gaulle airport. Yeah what can we do. They say I'm a Tax resident now even though I don't know if I will still be in US in June 2007. Taxation without representation!!! I agree.
