First of all, what exactly is a United States “Green Card?
The United States “Green Card” is a “permanent” residency visa that must be renewed every ten years. Many immigrants naturalize and become US citizens after spending five years in the U.S. Even if a person doesn’t naturalize as an American, a Green Card gives almost all the same rights to a person as if they were a citizen.
