Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs)

Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs), commonly known as green card holders, are foreign nationals authorized to live and work permanently in the United States. They have gained lawful immigration status through an application process and are granted a green card as proof of their rights. LPRs can travel internationally, work legally, and access certain benefits, but they do not have all the rights of U.S. citizens, such as voting. Maintaining their status requires adhering to specific residency rules, and they may be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship after meeting certain conditions.
