What is the use of a temporary green card in the United States?

Green card actually refers to the right of abode, which is divided into conditional green card, also known as temporary green card (that is, temporary residency) and unconditional green card, also known as permanent green card (permanent residency). As an investor in EB-5, after submitting the I-526 application, you can get a conditional green card if approved. Conditional green card is a short-term green card, valid for two years. One year and nine months later, that is, the first three months after the expiration of the two-year period, the investor submits an I-829 application to the US Citizenship and Immigration Service, which proves that all the funds have been used for investment, jobs have been created, and the conditional status has been lifted. The investor will get an unconditional green card, that is, permanent residency. (going abroad)

The two kinds of green card face designs are very similar. How to distinguish them effectively? In essence, the main difference between a conditional green card and an unconditional green card lies in the validity period indicated on the card face. Conditional green cards are only valid for two years, while unconditional green cards will not be marked with a two-year validity period. Therefore, if investors only hold conditional green cards, they can only stay in the United States for two years, while unconditional green cards can stay in the United States for a long time. However, no matter what kind of green card you hold, you should pay attention to the requirements of the US Immigration Service before becoming an American citizen.
