A “green card,” issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), serves as evidence of one’s lawful permanent resident status, granting the holder permission to reside and work anywhere within the United States. While most green cards require renewal every 10 years, conditional green cards based on marriage or investment need to be replaced after the initial 2 years.
The U.S. government might decline a green card application for various reasons, which can encompass errors on the mandatory forms, omitted documents, inadequate financial resources, or the inability to establish eligibility.
