Danger: Losing Your Green Card at the Border
Michael O'Rourke talks about how to avoid having your green card taken away at the US border.
00:00 Green Card vs. Conditional Green Card. What's the difference?
01:49 Never give up your Green Card or sign anything if a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer wants to take your green card away. No matter how friendly or helpful they seem to be, don't do it without consulting a lawyer first.
04:33 Only a judge can take your green card away unless you willingly give it to CBP, even if you claim that you didn't know what you were doing when you gave it up.
5:05 If you separate or divorce when you have a conditional green card, it doesn't automatically mean that you lose your permanent resident status no matter what a CBP officer says at the border.
08:02 What should you say at the border?
