Important to have a valid US green card always! 
         
Permanent residency of the United States, as its name implies, is permanent. Unless a permanent resident does something actively to give up the status, permanent residency is permanent. Permanent residents have the right to live and work in the US without restriction on a permanent basis. However, while permanent status is permanent, the identification which proves permanent residency status – the green card – is not.

Permanent residents need to keep a green card with them at all times to prove their permanent residency and most green cards are only issued for ten years. This means that every ten years US permanent residents need to go through the green card renewal process. This involves filing Form I-90.
