My wife got her residency and green card as a Russian citizen but also holds a UK passport.  Her Russian passport is about to expire and she doesn't care to renew it (and may be renouncing at some point).  Her UK passport is valid for a few years.

 

We assume that her green card needs to match her passport when we travel abroad, and that using a UK passport with a green card that says Russia is not a good idea.  Can anyone confirm?

 

Is there any way to "convert" her green card to reflect her UK citizenship instead of Russian?

The GC is not attached to her Citizenship, I know people with multiple citizenships and multiple passports and they use whichever passport is appropriate, ie UK when going to UK and Russian when going to Russia.

 

Do not know about Russia but certainly giving up UK Citizenship is not a simple process.

Wow, that's surprising good news!  I have UK/US dual citizenship and always use the passport of the country I'm traveling to (which I think is the law), but am surprised to hear that about GCs.  So she can travel abroad and return only with a UK passport and a GC that says born in Russia?

 

I don't think renouncing Russian citizenship is easy, and not renewing her Russian passport might actually impede the process. But she has no intention of ever going back so I'm not sure it's much of an issue.

As far as the US is concerned the GC is the key document.

Yes, you must have a current, valid Russian passport to renounce Russian citizenship. 

 

My wife's Russian passport expired and we checked into this.  Have notdone anything about it.  She just cannot travel to Russia now.

Thanks.  I'm not sure it's worth the hassle of renouncing, as long as she doesn't want to travel there.
