Re: Green card

It would be necessary to apply for a renewal of your Green Card. As long as you have maintained your Lawful Permanent Resident Status over the past 40 years and remain admissible to the U.S. this should not be a problem.

You also may be eligible for Naturalization.

You should consult with an experienced immigration attorney before proceeding.
