Advantages of Having a Green Card

What are the Advantages of Having a Green Card?

There are many benefits of having a Green Card. We have listed them for you below.
You are allowed to enter and leave the USA as you wish. Green card holders can also enter and exit Mexico and Canada without a visa.
You will be eligible to apply for government scholarships and student loans for your education.
Green card holders pay less for universities. In most cases this amount is half of what foreigners pay.
You can work for a company in the US without a work permit.
Some jobs require security clearance, which only green card holders and US citizens can get. Therefore, a green card gives you more job opportunities.
You are allowed to start your own business or company.
Green card holders can retire in the U.S. after completing their working years and benefit from the benefits the government offers to retirees.
A person who is issued a green card can also get a green card for his/her unmarried children and spouse under the age of 21.
If you have a green card for your family, they will continue to have a green card even if you pass away or lose your job.
Once your children get a green card, they can stay in the US after they turn 21, even if they get married.
You will not be affected by future changes to immigration rules.
Under US law, you have all legal rights except the right to vote, which applies only to US citizens.
You then have the right to apply for US citizenship. You do not have to obtain US citizenship and you can have a green card for the rest of your life. If the person's current country of citizenship allows dual citizenship, he or she can become a US citizen without renouncing his or her current citizenship. (Citizens of Turkey can become dual citizens.)
It is easier to get a loan to buy a house. Many banks require a green card or long-term visa before granting a loan. Some banks may charge higher interest rates for people without a green card.
