The United States green card, officially known as a Permanent Resident Card, is a document issued to foreign nationals who have been granted permanent resident status in the United States. Green card holders are allowed to live and work in the United States indefinitely, and they are eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship after five years of permanent residency.
There are several different ways to apply for a green card, including through family sponsorship, employment sponsorship, or as a refugee or asylee. The process of applying for a green card can be complex and time-consuming, but it is an important step for foreign nationals who wish to live and work in the United States.
