A Permanent Resident Card, often referred to as a Green Card, is an identification card issued by the United States government to non-citizens. It grants them the right to live and work in the U.S. on a permanent basis. Holders of a Green Card can enjoy many benefits, including access to education and healthcare, but they are not U.S. citizens and do not have the right to vote. To obtain a Permanent Resident Card, individuals typically must go through a legal process that includes applying for a visa, meeting specific eligibility criteria, and sometimes undergoing an interview. Once granted, the card must be renewed every ten years to maintain its validity.
