Being a lawyer in America has nothing to do with a green card, just a work visa.

Requirements for becoming a lawyer in the United States:

(1) must be an adult;

(2) It is proved that there is no illegal act through conduct investigation;

(3) Pass the state bar exam: There is no unified national judicial exam in the United States. Each state is an independent judicial unit, with its own bar exam, application conditions and passing standards. The American bar exam is held twice a year, in late February and July respectively. The American Bar Examination itself consists of two parts: the national joint examination part and the individual examination part of each state. The exam takes two to three days, which varies from state to state.

It should be noted that being qualified as a lawyer in one state does not mean that you can practice as a lawyer in other States. If you want to be a lawyer in another state, you need to pass the bar exam in another state.

(4) American Bar Association recognition: American lawyers' organizations are lawyers' associations, including federal lawyers' associations, state lawyers' associations and county lawyers' associations. The federal and state bar associations are not affiliated. The primary task of the bar association is to formulate a lawyer's code and educate lawyers on morality and discipline. (2) Organizing lawyers to further study law; The third is to educate lawyers in society. It also supervises lawyers' implementation of the Lawyers Law and receives complaints from citizens against lawyers.
