green card holder
Permanent resident status
A green card holder is a person with permanent resident status in the United States—legally authorized to live and work in the country indefinitely without being a citizen.
The green card itself is the identification document proving this status: Green card holders can sponsor family members for immigration.
The term distinguishes permanent residents from citizens, temporary visa holders, and undocumented immigrants.
