Many people from around the world come to America and look for ways of legalizing and obtaining permanent residence. Why is a Green card such a desirable benefit? Here are some of the advantages:
Travel
Green card holders can travel to and from the U.S. without a visa. They don’t need to verify their immigration status with the government. They can also live and work anywhere in the country.
Family Sponsorship
Green card holders can sponsor their spouses and unmarried children (under 21 y.o. and over 21 y.o.). This can help them become permanent residents.
US Citizenship
Green card holders can apply for citizenship after three, four, or five years. This depends on how they obtained their permanent resident status. US Citizens have great advantages, such as traveling with a US passport, and faster family unification times. Other advantages? Special jobs available only to citizens, and more financial aid for college.
Protection from deportation
Green card holders are protected from deportation and have legal rights. These include due process in court, employment rights, and property rights.
Federal Benefits
Green card holders are eligible for federal benefits like Social Security, student financial aid, and government-sponsored financial assistance for education. They may also receive in-state tuition rates at some colleges and universities.
Employment
There are more employment opportunities than for people with work visas.
