Once in the United States, the applicant no longer needs his Immigrant Visa and will be issued a Permanent Resident Registration Card (also known as a Green Card). Besides showing that an immigrant is a permanent resident allowing the person to live and work in the US legally, the Green Card also serves as an entry document for its holder. Persons holding Green Cards for a certain period of time (usually 5 years) can become United States citizens after applying for citizenship and going through a process called "naturalization". It is also important to know that permanent residents must report their worldwide income to the United States tax authorities. Failure to do so may result in deportation proceedings. Permanent resident cards expire every ten years. This does not mean that the card holder's permanent residence expires, but that the Green Card needs to be renewed. In the case of a Green Card obtained through marriage of less than two years, an application to remove the conditional status, Form I-751, must be submitted three months before its expiration.
