Green Card - 10 yrs?

[jonesg111 0]

I've been doing some reading and it seems that people are getting green cards but they are only for 10yrs.

Do you have to renew it at that point or by then do they figure you'll become a citizen, or is there another status that you can have that give you permanent residency but not citizenship?

There is no other status. People have two choices either apply for citizenship after 5 years they had their green card (3 years if married to US citizen) or renew their green card at the end of 10 years.
