Permanent residence is the immigration status that allows immigrants to live and work legally in the United States, and later be eligible to apply for US citizenship. Getting a Green Card usually requires a sponsor, which can be an employer or an immediate family member.

However, USCIS provides various reasons why it is possible to replace the Green Card. For example:<\/p>
