Green Card Lawyer for Minnesota Immigration
What is a Green Card?
A green card is the term used to describe the document that shows a persons is a Lawful Permanent Resident. It is the document that immigrants receive as proof of their permanent resident status. The green card can be used for employment, driver’s license, social security number, etc.
Is a Green Card the same as Citizenship?
No. Although green card holders may live in the United States indefinitely, they are not U.S. citizens. Green card holders may work legally, travel, etc., but in order to become a U.S. citizen, they may apply for citizenship; it does not happen automatically. Green card holders also cannot vote.

How do I get a Green Card?
You may be eligible for a green card if you have certain family members who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Green card status is also available through employment. Lastly, if a person is in deportation proceedings, there are occassions when an immigration judge may grant premanent resident — green card status.
How long may I remain a permanent resident?
You may remain a permanent resident, without becoming a citizen, indefinitely. However, you are required to renew your green card every ten years. In addition, you will be subject to various restrictions on travel, voting, etc., as a permanent resident. As a U.S. citizen, there would be no restrictions on your immigration status.
