Green Card (US)

A Green Card is an official U.S. government document that grants a foreign national permanent resident status in the United States. This status allows the individual to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely, provided they adhere to certain regulations. Green Card holders can also apply for U.S. citizenship after meeting specific requirements. Green Cards can be obtained through various means, including family sponsorship, employment offers, or refugee/asylee status. The term "Green Card" comes from the color of the card that was originally issued.
