Green Card

A green card, also known as a permanent resident card, is an identity document that shows a person has permanent residency in the United States. As of 2023, there are an estimated 12.7 million green card holders, with approximately 9 million eligible to become United States citizens. Green card holders are statutorily entitled to apply for U.S. citizenship after five years of continuous residency and demonstrating good moral character, although certain circumstances may shorten the residency requirement. The card is issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and can be revoked in cases of criminal conviction or other exceptional circumstances.learn more on wikipedia
