U.S. Permanent Residency
Permanent resident or ‘green card’ status allows an individual to work, study and live in the U.S. without the time limitations of a temporary work visa. For many individuals, the first step of the green card process through employment is the PERM Labor Certification Applications. For others, the green card process may begin with an I-140 immigrant petition based on extraordinary ability, outstanding researcher or professor, being an international manager or executive, or the U.S. national interest.
