We’re supposed to, but I don’t. First week of getting my greencard, I was carrying it coz of excitement and job, then I decided to leave it in my house, the next day, I lost my wallet.
Imagine losing your gc a week after getting it. That would be crazy. Since then I decided to just leave it at home.B2; AoS; Same-Sex Marriage:USC

I don’t as I fear of losing it. Keep in mind that it could take up to a year just to get a replacement card.Last edited by hopefulandhappy; 12-16-2019, 04:10 PM.

I literally bought a fireproof baggie for it and it is staying hidden at home, in safety. I do not want to deal with immigration until the day i decide to become a citizen.
especially now, with real ID, there is absolutely no need to carry it around. Real ID itself proves your legal presence. So why take the chance?

Hell to the no! I had my purse stolen years ago. It cost me like $750 just to replace it. Never again. I carry a back and front copy in my wallet. One day I was at a friend's house when ICE came looking for her. I had to produce my GC to prove I wasn't her. I gave them the copy, they pulled up my A number on their tablet, enlarged the most recent pic in their system, compared faces and said okay, tell **** to call us and gave me back my copy. My advice, leave your card safe at home. In all my years as an LPR that was the only time I was ever asked for it other than for travel or work.
