Can you get a green card if you marry a permanent resident?
An immigrant visa available to the spouses of U.S. citizens and permanent residents is a marriage-based green card (or ‘spousal visa’).
While the procedure can seem overwhelming, whether one partner is a U.S. citizen or green card holder, most couples qualify for a marriage-based green card.

Higher tuition fees are charged to out-of-state and foreign students by many universities, colleges and technical schools in the United States. There are states where their college fees are 50% more expensive for international students.
This means that if you have a Green Card, you would be considered an in-state resident and you wouldn’t have to pay that amount, therefore you would save a lot of money!
Also as a permanent resident, you could apply for financial aid if needed to eliminate the tuition costs.
