For many people and families, becoming a legal permanent resident of the United States is a big step. This status comes with the following rewards.
- Work and Live in the U.S. Forever. If you are a legal permanent resident, you can work and live in the U.S. forever. You can now settle down, plan, and work without worrying about temporary cards.
- Access to More Job Opportunities. Unlike people with short visas, a legal permanent resident is not limited to working for a certain company or a type of work. This freedom lets people move up in their careers and try out various kinds of jobs, which can lead to better working conditions and higher pay.
- Eligibility for U.S. Citizenship. Legal permanent residents can ask for U.S. citizenship after a certain time, usually five years. This lets you enjoy all the benefits of being an American citizen, like being able to vote and travel with a U.S. visa.
- Help Family Members Get Green Cards. As a legal permanent resident, you can help certain family members get green cards. This is a crucial step toward rejoining families and giving them the chances and security of living in the U.S.
