10 year permanent residency is just a regular GC, just valid for 10 years. They do expire and you have to renew them and you are not free and clear. Some committed crimes and other offenses can result in the rejection of the renewal petition, (however misdemeanors fall under "petty crime" exemption; one time exemption though from what i read). You can say its "conditional" on good behavior. Some people choose not to apply for the USC for whatever reasons and then they just have that for the rest of their lives.
By the extra year I meant that we have to wait 6 for the USC application instead of standard 5 for regular PRs.
