What is a Green Card?

The United States of America's Permanent Resident Card, commonly known as a Green Card, allows non-American citizens to live and work in the country permanently.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services states that Green Card holders can prove employment eligibility in the country and apply for a Social Security Card and state-issued driver's licence.
