What is a green card?
A green card is a legal document that allows an immigrant or foreign national to gain permanent residence in the United States. A green card holder is a permanent resident who has been granted the authorization to live and work in the United States legally and permanently. Green cards are valid for 10 years and must be renewed even though permanent residence status does not expire.
There are several ways in which an immigrant can become a green card holder, including obtaining a green card through:
- Family or marriage
- An employer or business relationship
- Refugee status, humanitarian programs, or asylum
Admittedly, the process of obtaining a green card, especially without the help of a skilled immigration attorney, is difficult, time consuming, and complex. Individuals who dream of working and living in the United States often feel as though pursuing a green card to obtain permanent residency is nearly impossible.
Permanent Resident Status in Texas
Though attaining permanent residency is a goal that many immigrants wish to achieve, it is important to know that permanent resident status can be lost. Should a green card holder abandon permanent resident status by traveling abroad for long periods of time, permanent resident status may not be restored. If a green card holder is convicted of a criminal offense or criminal immigration offense, permanent resident status could be revoked and a request for permanent removal (deportation) could be initiated. In the event of an arrest, green card holders need to consult the Houston immigration attorneys from Lopez & Rhodes PLLC for deportation defense immediately.
Immigrants could also lose their permanent resident status by earning citizenship. Once a naturalized U.S. citizen, green card holders lose their permanent resident status and can enjoy the rights and responsibilities of being an American citizen. Citizenship is the ultimate goal for most immigrants and can be attained over time and with the help of our skilled immigration lawyers.

"I have referred family and friends to her"Do not let her young looks fool you. After having a terrible experience with Jose Vega, i found Jennifer and she exceeded our expectations. Not only does she make you feel welcomed, but also gives you a sense of ease. She loyally stood by our side through the years that courts prolonged the process. I have referred family and friends to her because she is that good. Her and her assistant Maura were just great at responding to our concerns. Thank you guys, we wish you the best ✌- Ferdinand D G.
