Since he has a DUI, may be he is looking for a US citizen to sponsor his visa, I am not sure. So, my question is does permanent residence in the USA mean actually you have to continue renewing every few years? If this is true, I'm befuddled for the reason it is called permanent residence in the USA if one has to renew to remain permanent. In Japan, once one receives permanent residence one does not have to renew. So, does anybody know about immigration laws in the USA? If he is lying to me about his visa, I will definitely dump him.

Yes he is lying. Yes I know immigration law due to be being immigrant myself and knowing ton of foreigners living in the US
He doesn’t have permanent residence.
He has work visa as a foreign engineer. That’s why he has to renew it every few years. He doesn’t have permanent residence status as that doesn’t need to be renewed at all. You actual green card as a piece of plastic that needs to be renewed every 10 years. Your status is permanent.
If he renews something every few years, it’s not permanent residence.
