Acquire legal status in the U.S. with a green card.
A green card, which is officially known as a Permanent Resident Card, is a document issued by the U.S. government that grants someone permanent resident status in the U.S. This status allows a foreign national to live and work in the U.S. on a permanent basis. For most people, obtaining a green card involves sponsorship by a family member or employer. There are many categories under which you can apply for a green card, and each one has its own set of eligibility requirements.
Green cards typically need to be renewed every 10 years, though the permanent resident status itself does not expire. Green card holders can typically apply for U.S. citizenship after meeting certain eligibility requirements, such as maintaining continuous residence and good moral character. Overall, a green card is a significant immigration document that provides a pathway to long-term residency and potential citizenship in the U.S.
