Green Card Holder
A US lawful permanent resident (green card holder) is taxed by the US on worldwide income just like a citizen, even while living in the UK — and keeps US filing and FBAR/FATCA obligations until the green card is properly relinquished.
In more detail
Holding a green card makes you a US tax resident regardless of where you live, with the same worldwide-income filing and foreign-account reporting duties as a citizen. Many green card holders living abroad wrongly assume the card immigration lapse ends US tax — it does not; the tax status continues until formally abandoned, which itself can trigger exit-tax considerations. The treaty tie-breaker can sometimes help, but with disclosure consequences.
