What's the difference between American green card and American citizenship?

The United States is the only superpower in the world at present, with top technology, economy and education. The United States has a vast territory and rich natural and cultural landscapes. It is a good country for immigration, study abroad and tourism. So what's the difference between an American green card and a naturalized American?

"Green card" is the common name of "American permanent residence permit". The United States is the first country to establish a permanent residence system, because it is an immigrant country and has accepted immigrants from all over the world since the founding of the People's Republic of China. But by the end of 19, the era of free immigration in the United States was over, and the procedures for entering the United States began to become more and more complicated. However, if you want to live permanently in the United States, you need to meet certain requirements.

At the end of World War II, the US government set up a "foreigner registration receiving card". This card was originally green, so it was later called green card. After decades of development, the "foreigner registration receipt card" has evolved into today's "American permanent resident card".

Although today's American permanent resident card is no longer green, people are still sincere about the green card because of historical habits.

As the name implies, foreigners who hold American permanent resident cards can have permanent residency in the United States. Except for the right to vote and stand for election, American permanent resident card holders enjoy the same benefits as American citizens.

To put it bluntly, with the American permanent resident card (green card), you, your children (/kloc-under 0/8 years old) and your spouse can settle in the United States for a long time, which is a lifetime.

However, holding an American permanent resident card (green card) does not mean becoming an American citizen. Green card holders are still foreigners but have the right to live in the United States.

For example, a Japanese who holds an American permanent resident card (green card) can live in the United States indefinitely, but his nationality is still Japan and he is protected by the Japanese government.

Although obtaining a permanent American resident card (green card) does not mean obtaining American citizenship, if you want to obtain American citizenship, you must first obtain a permanent American resident card (green card).

Green card holders can't hold American passports because they are not American citizens. )

According to American law, if a foreigner wants to become an American, he must first obtain an American permanent resident card (green card) and live in the United States for more than five years before applying to become an American.

Of course, some people don't want American citizenship. They just want to live in America for a long time because of the convenience of life and other factors. Then, these people can live in the United States for a long time as long as they get a permanent resident card (green card).

As an immigrant country, the annual number of green cards issued in the United States ranges from 6,543.8+0.4 million to 6,543.8+0.5 million (there are definitely not millions online). There are two main ways to get a green card in the United States, one is investment and the other is technology. If subdivided, there are five levels.

B- 1, outstanding talent

They are top figures in various fields, such as business management, master of science and master of literature. They can get green cards for their families without any protection.

B-2, excellent talents

This level is a highly educated person, who can also get a green card by submitting a certain degree and qualification certificate.

B-3, unskilled immigrants

This level is not high, which can be understood as an immigration policy for refugees.

B-4, special professionals

This level belongs to some minority talents especially needed in the United States, such as priests.

B-5, investment immigration

There are no other requirements for this level, as long as you invest in the United States. But there are very few green card places at this level, and you have to have money.

These five points are the general ways to get an American green card. In short, people will want you only if you have the ability.
