Permanent Resident

Countless people all over the world share a dream: to one day be a permanent resident of the USA, to live and work in the “Land of the Free”. In order to realize that dream they apply for an American Green Card, filling out numerous forms proving their eligibility. Those choosing the bureaucratic way often have a job-offer from an American employer and are already looking for a place of permanent residence. Others become Green Card holders and permanent residents of USA by marrying a citizen of the United States. But there are also those still in need of a potential job securing their income as a permanent resident of USA.

Citizenship versus Green Card

 

Permanent residence might not equal citizenship, for example non-citizens are not allowed to participate in the national election, but apart from a few differences a permanent resident has the same rights and duties an American citizen has. If one has been a permanent resident of USA for a certain amount of time it is possible to fully become a United States citizen.
