  • A lawful permanent resident is a noncitizen permitted to live and work in the United States. Such noncitizens are often referred to as Green Card Holders. As a lawful permanent resident, you are granted certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution and state laws but do not have the full rights of a U.S. citizen. Permanent residence may travel outside the
    United States but must maintain presence in the United States for certain periods of time. A permanent residence should seek the advice of an experienced attorney to determine how long they may remain outside the United States without risking their status as a permanent resident.

    A U.S. citizen has the full protection of the U.S. Constitution. Unlike permanent residence, citizens are granted the right to vote in state and
    federal elections, work for the federal government, and run for publicly elected positions. Citizens are also allowed to apply for and receive a U.S. passport.

  • A nonimmigrant visa is granted to foreign nationals who enter the United States on a temporary basis and for a specified purpose. These visas are issued for purposes such as visiting friends and family, tourism, studying
    at a U.S.-based educational institution, temporary work (one-time or recurring), and medical treatment. Only some nonimmigrant visa categories allow recipients to work in the U.S. Citizens of a designated Visa Waiver Program country who seek to enter the U.S. for 90 days or less to visit or conduct business are not required to apply for a nonimmigrant visa. Instead, these foreign nationals can apply for admission online before traveling to the U.S.

    An immigrant visa is granted to a noncitizen seeking to enter the U.S. to permanently live and work. Such visas are generally granted to immediate relatives of U.S. citizens or green card holders, employees sponsored by a U.S. employer, or those chosen for the diversity lottery. Individuals granted an immigrant visa are often allowed to work in the U.S. upon entry.

  • Once granted asylum by an asylum officer or immigration judge, an asylee can access the following:

    • Protection from being deported to the country where the asylee fears persecution or was persecuted.
    • Employment authorization
    • Social Security Number
    • Ability to apply for lawful permanent residence after one year (must still meet other eligibility requirements for permanent residence)
  • Anyone seeking to apply for permanent residence while living in the United States must meet the requirements of adjustment of status. If you do not possess lawful status at the time of filing for permanent residence, you may require a waiver to adjust your status while living in the United States. If you have ever been arrested, you may need to seek a waiver to be
    eligible for adjustment of status. If you are unsure about whether you meet the requirements for adjustment of status, you should consult an experienced immigration attorney who can evaluate your eligibility and
    determine whether you require a waiver.
