Green Card and U.S. Citizenship Application Package
This package contains two guides: our Step-by-Step Guide Applying for Green Card in the U.S. and our Step-by-Step Guide Applying for U.S. Citizenship. A green card, officially called a permanent resident card, is proof of an individual’s lawful permanent resident status in the U.S. Green card holders, U.S. lawful permanent residents, have certain rights and responsibilities in the U.S. A green card can be used as evidence of employment eligibility in the U.S., as well as a valid document to reenter the U.S. In our guide you will find information about the requirements for a Green Card and a description of the Green Card process. A U.S. lawful permanent resident may become a U.S. citizen. Use our guide to learn who may be eligible for U.S. citizenship, procedures for applying for U.S. citizenship, requirements and benefits of U.S. citizenship.
