From your above postings,it seems,given to understand,inessence:JoeF said:I understand your reasoning, but it is wrong. The issue is not about havng the right to reside somewhere. The issue is having the obligation to reside somewhere. As a US permanent resident, you absolutely have to reside in the US. You not only have the right to reside in the US, but the obligation to do so. Now, CIS and any other government agency does not know nor care that permanent residency in some other countries does not require to live there. That's foreign law, which can change without the US authorities knowing, and US authorities can not base their decisions on whatever some government from some other country decided.
For US authorities, the term "permanent resident" means an obligation to reside in the country. So, if you are a US PR and a PR of some other country, the US assumes and has to assume that you have to reside there. And that automatically means that you can't reside in the US.
The US can not use any other country's definition of "permanent residence."
'That If an US PR and also ( even just) has PR of another country,CIs will construe that he will likely not be permanent resident of US and has full risk of losing GC.
And it is balnket kinda of thing with out exceptions.'
Let us see an hypothetical case to be more clear.
Person A is an USPR.Before that he merely holds PR of 'X' Country and he is a Citizen of 'Y' country.
Upon his status is adjusted to PR,he has:
1)Resided continuously in US and never gone out of US for even one day(say till now for five years).
2)He had a house in US right from the day he was adjusted as PR.
3)He is earning a salary and never was a charge on public funds.
4)He submitted tax returns to IRS every year.
5)he abided all the laws and never had slightest deviation.
Now only thing is he has also a PR of another contry.
From the blanket statements of having another PR etal..,he is at risk??
because he merely has PR of another country?
if not how far it is true or has legal standing?
