Is it possible to remain a permanent resident in the US?
Unless you apply for and complete the naturalization process, lose your status or abandon it, then once you become a Green Card holder you hold the permanent resident status forever.
How to get a Green Card in the US without marriage?
There are multiple ways to get a Green Card without having to marry anyone.
If you have been residing in the U.S. as an asylee or refugee for the last year, you might be able to apply for a U.S. green card.
If you already have either a T or U non-immigrant visa, you may also be eligible to apply for a green card.
Difference between the Green Card and Citizenship?
Although permanent residents in the United States are legally allowed to live and work, they hold citizenship in another country.
Whereas, an alien identification card, also known as a Green Card, is issued to those who are granted U.S. permanent resident status.
Which Forms should a Petitioner file for your Green Card?
When applying for a Green Card, in most cases applicants need someone else in the United States to file a petition for them and complete a few Forms.
The most common Forms are:
Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative);
Form I-730 (Refugee/Asylee Relative Petition),
Form I-589 (Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal)
and Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker).
Other Forms which are less common are: Form I-918 (Petition of U Nonimmigrant Status); Form I-929 (Petition for Qualifying Family Member of a U-1 Nonimmigrant); Form I-360 (Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant) and Form I-526 (Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur).
Does a Green Card offer Job Opportunities?
Access to better career opportunities is one of the greatest benefits to Green Card holders.
If an immigrant wanted to work in the United States, they would have to be sponsored by the company for which they work for their work visa, so when it comes to Green Card holders, they are a permanent legal resident, which means they are free to work in almost every company in the United States.
They can also establish their own company and if they want to, become an entrepreneur.
