: Please, can you explain one thing? I suppouse what it is, but I have one doubd. If you receive a Green Card, you need renew it sometime or it is permanent? We here in Europe have only permission, and you can obtain a permanent permission only after 5 or even 10 years of life here. So this 5 year if you go to PMZH, you risk not to obtain one year the permission and have a lot of paper to do in Ukraine when you return...
Lesia,I can tell you,that in the US the citizenship can be denied,not the greencard itself(if it's won in the lottery either granted as a result of ,for instance,B-1 working visa,as I try to do myself now).The obtaining of the greencard takes a long while and it's better to do it inside the US,with a lawyer,because in Kiev there are a lots of people waiting and it isn't worthy to leave the country,risking not to return.The citizenship can be denied for the criminal record(frauds, drunken driving,fighting...),failure to work,etc
