Lawful Permanent Resident Status (Green Card)
A Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) is a foreign-born individual who has been given the privilege of permanently living and working in the United States. There are a number of ways to become a Permanent Resident of the United States. Perhaps the most common way is through a relative who is a citizen of the United States or LPR. Although gaining Lawful Permanent Resident status is often referred to informally as getting a "green card," the card one receives is actually white.
