Green Card

<p>A <b>green card</b> allows an individual to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely. Many H-1B workers eventually transition to green card status through employer sponsorship in employment-based immigrant categories (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3, etc.).</p><p>The process typically involves:</p><ul><li>A PERM labor certification</li><li>An I-140 petition</li><li>An adjustment of status (I-485) application</li></ul><p>H-1B's dual intent nature facilitates this process since one can be in H-1B while an immigrant petition or application is pending without violating status.</p>
