A Green Card is a Permanent Visa to the Unites States. A Green Card gives an individual the status of a permanent resident and the legal rights to work in the U.S. Once an individual had obtained a Green Card, he/she may apply for American citizenship.

A Green Card gives a person a permanent U.S. resident status, which allows him/her freedom to leave and return to the U.S., to seek employment, to study according to his or her wishes. Also, it provides the same rights as an American citizen, while allowing the individual to retain citizenship in his/her native country. With a permanent resident status (Green Card), a person could expand his/her business in America without any problems.
