A United States Permanent Resident Card, commonly referred to as a Green Card, is carried as official proof of Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status by immigrants authorized to live and work in the US long-term. Green Card holders also have access to educational programs in the United States; are allowed to own property (for example, to buy a home); have the option to start a business; can sponsor eligible family members for a US visa; have the opportunity to apply for American citizenship once they meet the criteria; and receive many other benefits.
