Legal Permanent Residents (LPR), also knows as Green Card holders, are allowed many of the same rights as U.S. Citizens: access to public schools, a driver’s license, obtaining social security and Medicare benefits, and visas for spouses, just to name a few. In fact, there are so many overlaps that many Green Card holders aren’t always aware that there are key differences.
But some Green Card rights are limited, and LPRs should be wise to these limitations. Violation of some of these limitations will lead to deportation.
