Green Cards

 A U.S. Green Card allows the holder to live and work lawfully in the United States as a permanent resident. While it is not equivalent to citizenship, a Green Card offers significant benefits, such as work authorization, the ability to sponsor immediate family members, and the opportunity to apply for U.S. citizenship through naturalization. Green Card holders also enjoy greater ease in traveling in and out of the U.S., qualify for Social Security benefits, and have access to a broader range of career opportunities.
What is Adjustment of Status (AOS)?Adjustment of Status is the process that allows eligible individuals already in the United States to apply for a Green Card without needing to return to their home country. This process enables applicants to remain in the U.S. while their application is being processed, even if their current visa expires before their Green Card is approved.
