green card holders
Legal permanent residents
Green card holders are immigrants who have legal permanent residence in the United States.
The green card—formally a Permanent Resident Card—permits living and working in the country indefinitely, though holders aren't citizens and can't vote.
Green card holders may apply for citizenship after five years of continuous residence.
