No. That does not apply to Green cards.
Also, note that, even when a 10 year Green card expires, status as a legal resident does not expire....only the evidence does. Regardless, airlines are authorized to board holders of expired 10 year cards.
Be aware that the ability to support a new immigrant is based on current annual income. That means income expected over the next 12 months from date of submission of the I-864 (needs supporting documents). What was reported on tax returns in the past is not important. Current annual income for a W-2 employee is calculated as: Gross pay from latest paystub multiplied times the number of pay periods per year (12 months). 125% of the threshold for the contiguous United States is $27,050 for a household of 2. I see no issue if the petitioner's income is still at the level as last year. Good luck.

"The Department of State is now requiring immigrant visa applicants to interview in the consular district designated for their place of residence, or in their country of nationality if requested, with limited exceptions.
I am sorry to hear about your Father's condition. I see no need to worry about the Green card. First of all, I believe you will receive an I-797 to extend the expiration date of your Green card when you submit the I-90 for renewal. Secondly, even if you had only an expired 10 year Green Card with you outside the US, airlines are allowed to board you to return to the US with an expired 10 year card.
Just renew your Green Card when the time comes....and take care of your Father. The Green Card will not be an issue. Good luck.
Consulates are not authorized to accept cases when a previous I-130 has been filed. You need to contact them as far as what they will do if you cancel the I-130. They have 100% discretion.
Even after a case is current and DQed, there is a queue for some consulates. NVC will schedule interviews, first, for those cases at the front of the queue.
Current annual income is defined as what you expect to earn over the next 12 months from the date of submitting the I-864. That would include all sources of expected income. Current annual income is not derived from tax returns (unless you are self-employed). It is derived from what your income will be for the next year after the new immigrant arrives.
Rationale: You will be supporting the new immigrant with income over the next year...not what was earned last year.
W2s are supporting documents for past tax returns...not for future income.
Current annual income- Continuing Pay statements, pay stubs, and employment letters are documentation for current and expected income.
-Example: Current annual income = gross pay from most recent pay stub multiplied times the number of pay periods per a 12 month period.
