Can I get a green card if I immigrate to the United States? How long will it take?

You can get a green card after immigrating to the United States, and it will take two years at the earliest.

The American permanent resident card, also known as the green card, is an identity document used to prove that foreigners have the status of permanent residents in the United States. "Getting a green card" refers to the immigration process of becoming a permanent resident. The legal permanent residency of green card holders is an official immigration benefit, including conditional permission to stay in the United States and get a job. The holder must maintain his permanent resident status, and if he no longer meets certain conditions required by the status, the holder may lose his status.

Only through hard work can ordinary people apply for a green card to work in the United States. After completing their studies, international students can find jobs, be employed by American companies, or be sent directly to the United States by large companies. After working for several years, they can apply for a green card with the support of the company. The United States issues a large number of work visas to foreigners every year. In the past two years, more than 60,000 work visas were issued each year. In the years of new economic expansion, 654.38+200,000 work visas were issued to foreigners on average every year. Everyone who has a job in America applies for a green card, but not everyone's application can be approved.

On the issue of immigration, the United States adopts a pragmatic policy, showing tolerance for foreign immigrants when the economy is good, and strictly restricting foreigners when the economy is bad. In the late 1990s, when the American economy was booming, new york didn't even catch illegal immigrants. Even the owner of the local Chinese restaurant said that he was not worried about this problem at that time, and he rarely heard of the police searching for illegal workers in Chinese restaurants.
