Thread: Need some input

I was fired yesterday because i told my boss about a month ago I disagreed with them hiring a illegals. Due to our on going disagreement over this issue I was terminated. What gets me is they don't want to stay in this country. They have already purchased a house in Mexico. They are going back in two years. He says the money is good here. They can live like kings when they go home..While unemployment is so high now. I think her big shot lawyers got him a temporary work permit. He did'nt return back to his country to renew his permit because he did not think they would let him return. So how long does a temporary work permit last.

A work permit is commonly called a Green Card.
I found this on the internet.
Green Cards

How long is a Green Card valid for?

Thanks to Citli for inspiring this question!

There are several answers to this question.

If you received your Green Card through marriage, and have not been married for two years when you got your Green Card, you should have a conditional Green Card that is good for two years. Also, if you received your Green Card through investment (EB-5), you should have a conditional Green Card for two years.

You must apply for removal of the condition using form I-751 within 90 days before the two years are up. Once that is approved, you have a regular unconditional Green Card. If you apply either too early or too late, you have a problem and should consult with an attorney for advice.

If you do not have the condition removed, the Green Card will become invalid at the end of two years, and your permanent resident status will be terminated.

Unconditional Green Cards are good for ten years. This does not mean that after ten years, you stop being a legal permanent resident - only the card itself becomes invalid. You must apply for a new one using form I-90. Without a current Green Card, you cannot use the GC to travel out of the USA, and you also cannot use the Green Card as evidence that you are permitted to work.
