What is a Permanent Resident Card?
A Permanent Resident Card, commonly known as a Green Card, is evidence of your status as a lawful permanent resident with a right to live and work permanently in the United States. It also is evidence of your registration in accordance with United States immigration laws. The Permanent Resident Card is also called Form I-551.
What Does the Law Say?
Section 264 of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides that, “Every alien in the United States shall be issued a certificate of alien registration or an alien registration receipt card in such form and manner and at such time as shall be prescribed under regulations.”
|
It also states, “Every alien, eighteen years of age and over, shall at all times carry with him and have in his personal possession any certificate of alien registration or alien registration receipt card issued to him. Any alien who fails to comply with [these] provisions shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.” (more…)

The U.S. Government has issued 65,000 green cards this year for the purpose of allowing people of foreign birth to live and work in the United States. But what is a green card? How does it work and what is the application process?
A green card is usually issued to people who are normally permanently resident in the United States and who wish to become a US citizen. After five years that person is usually eligible to apply for citizenship and naturalization.
In practice there are two broad ways of getting a green card. These are through employment in the United States and through their immediate family.
|
The correct term for the former type of green card is the H1B Work Visa. This is issued by the U.S. Government and allows foreign professionals from all over the world the opportunity to live and work in the United States. (more…)

Q. Should I give up or fight? I won the green card lottery for 2007-2008. I came here as a visitor. Is it true that because I overstayed more than one year that I can’t get a lottery green card?
Name withheld, Manhattan
A. It may seem like a cruel joke, but it is unlikely you’ll ever get a lottery green card. Here’s why. As a 2008 Diversity Visa lottery winner, you must get your immigrant visa by the end of the 2008 government fiscal (recordkeeping) year, Sept. 30, 2008. If you don’t, you lose your rights as a 2008 lottery winner.
|
Because you are an “overstay,” you must interview abroad unless you qualify to interview here under the “245i” law. Having overstayed so long, once you leave, you become subject to a 10-year bar to permanent residence. With your rights under the lottery program expiring on Sept. 30, 2008, the bar effectively makes you ineligible for a lottery visa. (more…)
