The new rules will require holders of a green card which has no expiration date, to apply within a four-month period for a new card with an expiration date, with filing costs of close to $400. American Citizens Abroad, a citizens advocacy organization based in Geneva, Switzerland, (www.aca.ch) considers that this could be a major headache for many foreign executives employed by American corporations who spend periods of time living and working in the United States, or just frequently visiting the United States. It can also cause problems for Americans residing abroad with non-citizen family members. (PRWeb Sep 5, 2007)
