Chapter 380
When Liang Jianfeng was helping him investigate, he noticed something amiss with Hao Jiajia’s information and specifically checked whether Hao Jiajia still retained her nationality.
The information showed that she still held domestic nationality.
Song Guanchao asked, "Green card? Did she immigrate? Isn’t dual nationality not allowed in the country? Why wasn’t her domestic nationality cancelled?"
Liang Jianfeng explained, "A green card is for permanent residency, not citizenship. She would have dual nationality only if she took foreign citizenship. Moreover, even if she did take foreign citizenship, unless she disclosed it herself, it wouldn’t be detected."
"She probably got a foreign green card. A green card is almost like a passport except it doesn’t provide the right to vote or be elected, but she would enjoy all other benefits."
"If she only handled the green card, it wouldn’t show up in the entrance and exit records."
"What do you mean?" Song Guanchao didn’t quite understand.
"For example, if she got a USA green card and traveled directly from the mainland to the USA, there would be an exit and entry record."
"As a civil servant, her frequent trips to the USA would be quite sensitive."
"So, she chose to first travel to Hong Kong Island on a tourist visa. Once in Hong Kong Island, she would use her USA green card to fly directly to the USA. This way, her exit and entry records would only show the trip to Hong Kong Island."
Song Guanchao understood, but then had another question, "A visa for Hong Kong Island only allows a week’s stay, regardless of whether she used it as a transit point. But she stayed for over three months before returning. That doesn’t seem possible with a tourist visa, right?"
