Immigrant Visas

I have a Permanent Resident Card (green card) and I no longer wish to live in the United States; what do I do?

If you no longer wish to reside in the United States you may formally abandon your status by completing the form I-407. Mail the form I-407, with your Permanent Resident Card (green card) and your passport to the Immigrant Visa Unit. We will note in the passport, that you have completed form I-407. We request that you also send a self addressed stamped envelope, so that we can return your passport once the notation has been made. Registered mail is recommended. We will normally be able to return the passport within three business days.
