Permanent Resident Card

A Permanent Resident Card, commonly known as a Green Card, is an official document issued by a country (like the United States) that allows a foreign national to live and work there indefinitely. It signifies that the holder has permanent resident status, meaning they are not citizens but can enjoy many rights similar to citizens. To obtain a Green Card, individuals usually go through a legal process, which may include family connections, employment opportunities, or refugee status. While Green Card holders can reside permanently, they still must comply with immigration laws and can lose their status if they violate certain conditions.
