8老师,
我2010年拿到绿卡,但现在因为在国内大学拿到正式教授职位,已于2016年初全职回国工作,并准备长期留在中国,所以我考虑放弃绿卡(已拿了6年),但是太太和孩子留在美国(都已入国籍)。
1. 不知现在放弃绿卡对我会有什么后果、影响(已拿到绿卡6年,不到8年)?
-No any. You can apply for the green card again in the future under your spouse's sponsor.
2. 算不算Covered Expatriate(适用弃卡者)?
-It probably yes if your income meet the requirements. See:

You had better abandon your green card by filing I-407 to any one of the US Consulates in China, and then apply for B-1 or B-2 visa to travel to US in the future.
非常感谢。
