A green card is a document that allows non-US citizens to live permanently in the US. It must be carried at all times and can be used to prove residency status when applying for a job. It is highly sought after and has anti-counterfeiting features. Qualifications for a green card include being closely related to a US citizen, having a job offer in the US, investing in a business that will employ at least ten people, or entering a lottery for countries with low immigration rates.

A green card, also known as a green card, is a document that identifies someone who is not a US citizen but has received permission to live in the US permanently – it is also called a US permanent resident card. At one point, the green card was actually green, but, like the used car guide known as the “blue book,” it has been in various colors over the years. Today’s green card is white.

The permanent resident non-citizen must carry his green card with him at all times as he may need to prove that he is legally in the country. It can also be used to prove residency status when applying for a job. Nonpermanent resident aliens need an employment authorization document to be legally employed by a U.S. employer, but a green card holder has an implied work authorization.

A green card is for many the first step on the road to naturalization and full US citizenship, and is highly sought after. The official green card has a number of anti-counterfeiting features to prevent it from being easily duplicated. Getting a green card or permanently immigrate to the United States can be a lengthy process and not everyone may qualify for one. You can get a green card if you are closely related to a US citizen: spouse, parent, child, or sibling. If you have a job offer in the United States, it can help you qualify for immigration and permanent residency through employment.

A unique qualification for permanent resident status and a green card is through investment. If you’re willing to invest in setting up a business in the United States that will employ at least ten people, you may qualify for a green card. You will of course be required to demonstrate that you have the necessary capital for the venture. If you’re from a country with a low rate of immigration to the United States, you can enter a lottery that authorizes 50,000 permanent resident visas a year.
