父母终于拿到绿卡了!先谢谢8老师和各位老师的帮助。

现在父母打算回国,有几个问题想再次请教各位老师:

⑴父母打算9月中回国,3月初再来美国,约5个多月。是否持绿卡和护照即可合法地出入境?

-Yes.

还是需要其实的文件?

⑵有一说绿卡持有者每年要在美国至少居留6个月,是这样吗?怎么计算的呢?

-The principle is that the green card is used for live in US permenantly, not used as border-crossing card. So, it is fine occasionally  to travel and stay outside US for less than one year, but not travel too often.

⑶需要给他们申请social security number吗?

-Yes.

⑷他们需要报税吗?父母都年过70,已退休,在美无工作,与我同住。

-Had better do that.

谢谢。
