What is a "Green Card"?

The green card, more formally called the Alien Registration Receipt Card is obtained by an immigrant seeking permanent residency in the United States upon the approval of an immigrant visa or adjustment of status. A green card can be obtained via sponsorship by a family member, labor certification through a U.S. employer, the "Green Card Lottery" or Diversity Visa, a National Interest Waiver, or some other special categories typically reserved for immigrants with extraordinary abilities.  If you, your family member or employer is interested in obtaining permanent residency in the United States, don't hesitate to contact an experienced Arizona immigration attorney to discuss the options available to you.
