Legal permanent residency

Legal permanent residency, often referred to as a Green Card holder, allows an individual to live and work in a country indefinitely. In the United States, this status grants the right to reside permanently, travel abroad, and apply for citizenship after meeting specific requirements. Permanent residents must comply with laws and may have certain limitations, such as not voting in federal elections. They typically achieve this status through family ties, employment offers, or refugee/asylum status. It offers a path to stability and integration into the community without the need for a visa.
