What is a Green Card?

A Green Card is proof that you have the right to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis. It is a critical milestone that offers stability and security for you and your family. A Green Card comes with many benefits, including the ability to work for almost any employer, travel outside the U.S. and re-enter, and eventually apply for U.S. citizenship.

Who is Eligible for a Green Card?

Green Card eligibility depends on your specific circumstances. The process is not the same for everyone, and identifying the correct path is the most important first step. The primary categories for eligibility include:

• Family-Based Immigration: You may be eligible if you are an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen, such as a spouse, an unmarried child under 21, or a parent. Other family members of U.S. citizens and relatives of lawful permanent residents may also qualify under family-preference categories.
• Employment-Based Immigration: You may be sponsored by a U.S. employer for a specific job. This path includes categories for individuals with extraordinary abilities, professionals with advanced degrees, and skilled workers, among others.
• Other Avenues: Additional paths to a Green Card exist for refugees, asylees, and winners of the Diversity Visa Lottery, which is open to people from countries with low rates of immigration to the U.S.
