Selected Answer: 

A green card is a permanent

A green card is a permanent residence card that allows an individual to live and work in the United States. An individual can obtain a green card through family, employment or if they are seeking refugee status. To be eligible for a green card, your husband must be eligible for one of the immigrant categories according to the Immigration and Nationality Act and have an immigrant petition filed and approved. In addition, your husband must be admissible to the United States and have an immigrant visa available immediately. If you or your son are citizens of the United States, your husband will be given the highest immigration priority and may not need to wait for a visa to be available as there are an unlimited number of visas for immediate family members. If you or your son are not United States citizens, your husband may be able to qualify for a green card if he can find a job. For example, first preference is given to priority workers which includes individuals with extraordinary abilities and certain multinational executives.
