Job opportunities through the Green Card?!
If you have received a Green Card then, unlike an immigrant in the United States, you have access to better career opportunities.
The reason for this is that, in order for immigrants to be able to work in the US, they need to be sponsored by the company they want to work for, whereas the holder of a Green Card is considered a legal permanent resident, so they are free to work in almost any company.
Other than that they can start a business and become an entrepreneur if they want to!
If your Green Card Interview went well then the next step is to wait for the officer’s decision.
Waiting for the answer depends on the type of Visa and what was discussed in the interview so it depends, but sometimes you can get the answer right after the interview and sometimes you might have to wait a few weeks or months before a decision is made.
Make sure you provide all the documentation you need at the interview to make the waiting process shorter.

Who can apply for the Green Card Lottery?
U.S. immigration law and regulations mandate that a DV entrant must have two years of work experience in a profession that needs at least two years of training or at least have a high school degree or its equivalent within the last five years.
There are two groups eligible for this type of Green Card.
1. Foreign nationals holding an advanced degree or its equivalent, in order to receive the Green Card must apply for a job in the U.S. which requires the advanced degree together with five years of experience and progressive work on the field. And
2. Foreign nationals with exceptional abilities, must demonstrate a ‘’degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered’’ in the business, sciences, arts, or medicine. For both categories, a PERM is required, but in some cases, if petitioners work in the U.S. would greatly benefit the U.S., they may request to withdraw this requirement and instead sign the National Interest Waiver.
How many Green Card holders are in the US?
