About Green Cards

A permanent resident card also known as a "green card" refers to the identification card given to you after you become a permanent resident of the US. The green card is also called an I-551 card or alien registration card by the government. It is usually valid for 10 years and renewable for an indefinite period of time.

A green card allows you to freely live and work in the US. However, it is important to remember that a green card is not US citizenship. Please see our page on Citizenship for more information about some important differences between these two categories.

There are many ways to receive a green card and become a permanent resident. They include immigration through your family, marriage, work, investment, extraordinary abilities, adoption, asylum, religious work, etc. Please see our other pages under the "Green Cards" category for more information about becoming a permanent resident.
