A green card or "permanent resident card" acts as documented proof of a person's permanent resident status in the United States. With a green card, you have the right to live and work permanently in the U.S., provided that you follow federal regulations, including immigration law and criminal laws. A green card will allow you work legally, get a Social Security Card, and other forms of government issued identification, like a state driver's license.
There are paths to obtain a green card and the process can be overwhelming. It is important to know your rights and understand your options before starting the process. The El Paso immigration lawyers of Ellis & Ortega and The Ortega Law Group help clients apply for green cards and work closely with you to resolve immigration law issues.
