Extension of Stay in India for USA Permanent Resident

[Sreenivasa]

Dear Sir/Madam

Greetings of the day. Pleased to meet you, myself Ravvinder and this query is about my Uncle and Aunty. My Uncle obtained US Citizenship through naturalization and Aunty is on Green Card status. They arrived India on 10^th April 2017 and have been residing in India since then. Since my Aunty in on Green card status and her stay is also approaching close to one year, does she need to visit USA before the one year timeframe? She currently has health problems   and so can she apply for extension of the stay in India without losing green card status.

Please advise

Sincerely

Sreenivasa

She needs to live in the US to keep the GC. It is not and has never been enough to just visit once a year.

If she has moved out of the US, not having a home there anymore, she essentially already has given up the GC.

They could talk to the firm of Murthy in Chennai to discuss future steps. If she stays abroad for more than one year, there is a possibility of losing the GC.
