Legal Question in Immigration Law in Arkansas

Re: immigration,green card,citizenship

Dear Inquirer:

A green card holder is a lawful immigrant. A Citizen is someone who was born in the US, naturalized as a citizen or otherwise acquired citizenship. Green card holders cannot vote in the US and cannot obtain certain government jobs. A US Citizen cannot be deported.

I recommend that you email [email protected] or visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com if you would like to schedule an appointment for a confidential consultation to discuss this matter further.

Re: immigration,green card,citizenship

Good Day,

An immigrant is a person who has been given permission to live and work permanently in the U.S. Green card holders are Legal Permanent Residents (LPR) with many of the same rights as Citizens enjoy but without the full extent of rights, for example, voting rights and eligibility for certain federal jobs, among others.

Note that an LPR's status can still be revoked, for example, if certain crimes are committed this would make a person person removable from the country.

Further, being an LPR does allow you to file family based immigrant petitions for certain family members as well, somewhat similar to the family based petitions that can be filed by Citizens. Note however that filing such cases as an LPR often takes much longer to process then filing such cases as a Citizen.
