Green Cards For Permanent Residents
A lawful permanent resident is someone who has been granted authorization to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis. As proof of that status, a person is granted a permanent resident card, commonly called a "green card."
Immigration law provides a number of paths to permanent residency. Most individuals are sponsored by a family member or employer in the United States.
