Form I 407

[H.Angy 51]

 Hello,

 

 Can one submit the form I 407 at the airport when leaving US ? Do you leave the GC there too ?

 

Thank you!

Since there is no exit passport control in the US, this may be difficult.  Here is what I found.  Mostly I hear about submitting the I407 at the consulate in the country one will be residing in.

 

Good Luck!

 

Procedures for Giving Up U.S. Permanent Residence

The procedure to surrender a green card/LPR status is fairly straightforward. The LPR simply needs to fill out and mail USCIS Form I-407, Abandonment of Lawful Permanent Resident Status.

The I-407 is a three-page document that requires basic biographical information, date of most recent departure from the United States, and reason for abandoning LPR status.

Along with the form, you will need to send in your green card, or provide a reason why you cannot (for example, that it has been lost).

 

Make a copy of the completed I-407 and green card, for future reference. Then send the whole package to:

USCIS Eastern Forms Center
Attn: I-407 Unit
124 Leroy Road
P.O. Box 567
Williston, VT 05495

In rare cases, if you need immediate proof that you have abandoned LPR status, the local embassy or consulate might allow you come in person to surrender your green card and submit the form.

Assuming you've sent it by mail, expect a turnaround time for USCIS's response of about two months.

If your purpose is to avoid U.S. taxation, also talk with a U.S. tax adviser about appropriate procedures to show the IRS that you are no longer a permanent resident. You will likely need to include a copy of your I-407 with your next U.S. tax return.

You could mail it from the Airport at either end.

Not really.  You need to go to the nearest US consulate.  Or you can mail it. 

 

Your post history is all over the place.

We do have many posters on here who have friends, important to remember not all of us are so fortunate.

Yeah I have one friend. She’s a USC so nothing in immigration applies to her.
