Answer:
Your lawful permanent resident status will not expire or change just because your card expires. However, you will need to renew your expiring Green Card in order to maintain evidence of your permanent resident status and avoid possible difficulties in obtaining employment, benefits and re-entry into the United States after traveling abroad.
