The EB-4 program offers a special immigration category that can indeed lead to the granting of a green card. However, it is important to understand that permanent status in the United States, regardless of how it was obtained, is subject to certain requirements and obligations.

Therefore, even after obtaining the green card – whether through the EB-4 category or another process – it can be revoked if serious violations of immigration laws are found or if any fraud or significant omission occurred during the obtaining process. In practice, green card revocation is an exceptional measure, applied when there is concrete evidence that the immigrant did not comply with the stipulated conditions or engaged in conduct that compromises the security or integrity of the immigration system.

For example, if evidence arises that false information or fraudulent documents were presented during the application, the authorities may initiate removal or revocation proceedings. Additionally, behaviors that contravene United States laws, such as serious criminal activities, can also trigger status reviews.

It is essential that the EB-4 beneficiary, as well as any immigrant, maintains a clean record and complies with all residence obligations and current legislation. Following immigration laws and keeping documentation in order are essential practices not only to preserve permanent status but also to avoid future complications.

We always recommend that immigrants seek information from reliable sources and look for guidance from experienced professionals – being careful to avoid scams or miraculous promises coming from non-specialized companies or marketing campaigns. Accurate information and proper legal advice are the best tools to ensure that rights and duties are respected throughout the immigration process.
