Immigration can take your Greencard (LPR) away after 5 years

The Board of Immigration Appeals in Matter of Cruz De Ortiz issued a decision overturning the long held belief by many that your greencard (LPR) status cannot be taken away once five (5) years passes. The BIA held that INA 246(a) rescission of LPR status is available beyond 5 years for those who obtained Immigrant Visa from Consulate.

That is good news for those who adjusted status inside the United States (usually through form I-485), but those who entered on an Immigrant Visa from their embassies are not protected by the five year statue of limiations rule. Case below.
