- You need to have Green Card for 5 years.
- You need to continue to live in US for 5 years.
- You should file US income tax for those 5 years whether you make money or not.
- In general, you must physically present in US for at least half year for every year. If not, you need to wait for another 5 years. (The 5 years count starts from 0 again.)
- If you are away for US for more than 180 days in any trip, your 5 years count may start from 0 again.
- Also, other requirements as Good Citizen with no criminal record and passing English and US history exam.

Be aware of:
- With Green Card, the officer may give you trouble to return to US if you left US over 180 days.

- With Green Card without Home Return Permit, it is equal to say "I give up my green card" if you left US over 1 year without returning. The officer may send you to court at entering of US, and the court may take away your green card, and send you back to HK.

- With Home Return Permit, you can leave US for a maximum of 2 years. Home Return Permit must apply in US. You cannot apply it oversea.

- What do you mean by 2年後先真真正正去定居? If you just get your Green Card, you need to come to US now. Without a permit, you may not be able to return to US after 2 years.You need to get a return permit to go HK to study.
