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. Others may become permanent residents through asylee or refugee status or other humanitarian programs. In some cases, you may be eligible to file for yourself.
The steps toward becoming a permanent resident are different for each category and will depend on whether you are currently living inside or outside the United States. Explore these links to learn more about the two primary types of green cards:
