Green Means Go


For the first time in over 30 years, the “Permanent Resident Card” — commonly known as the “Green Card” — is actually green.
The USCIS started issuing the new more secure cards this spring. Newly issued cards are valid for ten years. Older cards with an expiration date will remain valid until that date or replaced by the newer card. Holographic images, laser engraved fingerprints, and high resolution micro-images make the new version of the card nearly impossible to reproduce.
Additional information about the new green cards is available on the USCIS Web site.
