Unlike temporary work visas like H-1B or L-1, a Green Card allows you to change jobs, employers, or industries without needing additional immigration approval and it brings career flexibility.

Green Card holders enjoy many of the same legal rights and protections as U.S. citizens, including protection under federal, state, and local laws, as well as the right to due process in legal matters.

It provides access to social security benefits, financial aid (in some cases), and better job opportunities.

Green Card holders can sponsor certain family members for immigration and eventually apply for U.S. citizenship.
