Is getting a green card in the United States still a citizen of China?

If you get a green card in the United States, you are still a citizen of China. According to American citizenship and immigration law, green card holders are foreigners who have neither American citizenship nor American citizenship. However, in the United States, they basically enjoy the same treatment as their nationals, but they have no right to vote and stand for election.

A green card is a permanent residence permit for foreign citizens. Holding a green card means that the cardholder has the permanent residence in the issuing country, and at the same time, holding a green card can exempt entry visas for a certain period of time.

With the American green card, you don't need to apply for a visa at the American embassy or consulate. You only need to show your passport and green card to enter and leave the United States freely. In addition to voting rights, you can enjoy the same benefits and treatment as your own citizens in the United States. Green card holders usually need to stay in the United States for a certain period of time each year, and cardholders who have not entered the country for more than two years may have their green cards revoked.

The official name of the green card is "permanent residence permit", which is used to prove the legal right of a foreigner to live and work in the United States for a long time. American green cards also have a similar function to passports. When you enter the US Customs, you can show your green card without a visa.

This card, which represents permanent residence status, was green at first, then adopted other colors, and changed back to green after 20 10. A green card is a plastic card the size of a credit card with photos and fingerprints on it, and some personal information is recorded on it. The green card is valid for 10 year. After the expiration of the validity period, you need to apply for a new card from the Immigration Bureau. The United States and European countries have different management agencies for foreigners' residence.

The issuance of visas and the issuance of residency in the United States are different departments. American embassies abroad only issue visas, and the above-mentioned period of validity refers to the period of validity of entering the United States rather than the period of residence. The length of residence is determined by the local American immigration officials. For example, the visa on your passport is valid for one month, but the immigration officer at the US airport customs can give you the right of residence for half a year or just seven days.
