A Green Card holder (permanent resident) is someone who has been granted authorization to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis. As proof of that status, a person is granted a permanent resident card, commonly called a “Green Card.”

If you are a permanent resident of the United States (i.e., you have a “Green Card”), you are allowed to travel freely throughout the country and its territories. However, if you plan to travel outside of the United States, you must have your passport and Green Card with you to return.

A Green Card is the popular name for a Permanent Resident Card. This card allows a foreign national to live and work permanently in the United States. If you have a Green Card, you are known as a lawful permanent resident. You can also apply for U.S. citizenship (naturalization) after living in the United States for a certain number of years (the requirements vary depending on your particular status).

Generally, only two groups of people are eligible for a Green Card:
-U.S. citizens who have family members who are foreign nationals, and
-foreign nationals who qualify for specific types of employment or have been victims of certain crimes

You can apply for a Green Card through a process called adjustment of status or consular processing, depending on your individual situation. If you are currently in the United States, you may be eligible to file for adjustment of status with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
