The Green Card
represents security to its holder. It instantly communicates
to law enforcement officials and US employers the right to
permanently live and work in the United States.
In
order to obtain a Green Card, you must complete the US immigration
process. For more information, see: The
US Immigration Process.
If you are already a Green Card holder…
You should
be aware that Green Cards issued since the end of 1989 have
an expiration date on the front of the Green Card with a ten-year
validity. If you were issued your Green Card about 10 years
ago and the Green Card has an expiration date on it, you should
check the expiration date to see when your Green Card needs
to be renewed. Green Cards issued from 1977 to 1989 that do
not have an expiration date will remain valid until USCIS
implements an official replacement program in the future.
