Abandoning Green Card
Has anybody experience in giving up the LPR status after leaving the US for work and residency in another country/homecountry? I come from a low tax country and wonder whether Uncle Sam will send a final tax bill or penalty fee or even make it difficult/impossible for me to abandon the GC once I will leave the US again. This is crucial for me to apply for the GC.

I feel like nobody is really paying attention to me, when I do good or when I’m not doing so good really. I don’t know if the lack of oversight just happens once you become a senior? Idk. Having more trust and freedom is cool and all but sometimes not having anyone check on me makes me feel anxious.
