Myth Buster

While a green card grants permanent residency in the United States, it does not offer complete protection from deportation.  Green card holders can still be at risk of removal if they are convicted of certain crimes, such as aggravated felonies, or if they violate specific immigration laws, even unintentionally. 

In addition, it is crucial to always carry proper documentation, such as your green card, I-94 card, and proof of residence in the United States.  These documents serve as proof of your legal status and are essential if requested by immigration authorities.  Failing to present the necessary documentation when required could result in complications, making it difficult to prove your legal residency status, and potentially leading to legal issues or even deportation proceedings.
