Permanent Residence and the
Permanent Resident Card for Immigrants in New York, NY
& Beyond
Like millions of foreign nationals around the world,
it may be your dream to establish permanent residence
in the New York, NY area. To be a permanent resident in
any part of the United States, you must have a permanent
resident card, also known as a green card or immigration
visa. A green card will give you lawful permanent residence,
or LPR in the US, as well as all the rights and benefits
that come with this official immigration status.
Permanent immigration to the United States is a privilege
not easily attained. For those foreign nationals seeking
permanent residence in New York and surrounding areas,

York immigration lawyer who can help you with the
various applications and requirements involved.
