Green Card: Everything You Need to Know

The Green Card, also known as Permanent Resident Card, is the main goal for many people seeking to settle in the United States. It represents stability, access to unrestricted job opportunities and the possibility of building a future in the land of opportunity.

In this article, we will focus on everything you need to know about the Green Card, with a focus on how to obtain it through the EB2 NIW Visa, one of the most strategic and effective pathways for highly qualified professionals. Abreu Law accompanies you on this path with expert advice and support, making sure you reach the ultimate goal: the Green Card.

What is the Green Card and why is it so important?

The Green Card is an official document that grants its holder permanent resident status in the United States. This means that you can:

  1. Live and work legally in the U.S.: Without the limitations of a temporary visa.
  2. Access to social benefits: Such as scholarships, health programs and more.
  3. Travel without restrictions: You can enter and leave the country with greater freedom.
  4. Include your family: Your spouse and children under the age of 21 can also obtain permanent residency.

The Green Card is not only a document; it is the basis for building a stable and full of opportunities life in the United States.
