Where do you keep your green card
 

Reading on the UCIS website that it is a requirement to carry your Green Card with you at all times.

Keen to see if people actually do this? Seems a bit of a worry to me as losing it entails more hassle in getting a new one.

What do people do in reality?

Cheers!

As far as I know my DH keeps it in a drawer with his passport.

When I had one I kept it in the safe. I never carried it with me.

Hopefully one uses the search feature to read one of the many previous posts on this contentious topic.

Oh wait, you said 'reality'. :lol:
sigh, here we go again.

The GC comes with a search feature, that's handy when you lose it carrying it around.

In this day and age...I keep it with me at all times. Right along with my driver's license.

I gave mine to a Mexican chap to look after.

Thanks for the helpful comment. Its nice to see a helpful answer rather than the sarcastic ones written by the moderators of this forum.

I carry mine with me in my wallet - I haven't lost a wallet for over 20 years so I think the risk is appropriate. That said, if I go jogging I only carry my keys.

I have scanned the green card and keep copies online incase it disappears when I am travelling around.

I take it, then, that you didn't read the other threads on this topic?

They're the worst.

:confused: My reply wasn't sarcastic. I am genuinely cheesed that you, a member here for three years, and an experienced user of these forums, would not have the courtesy to attempt a search before asking whether or not other members agree you should break the law.


:lol: If only, eh?

Better than many others. :)

Pure relativism.

It's the law to carry it at all times. So it's in my wallet.

I keep a digital scan, suitably encrypted, in several virtual locations should I need a copy of it if it got lost or stolen.

What's your point?
Users on your forum giving you a hard time? I keep a couple of reserves to go vent my spleen on too.
