What gives a residence permit in America

A residence permit (residence permit) in the country is essentially a Green Card, which gives the right to:

• reside on the territory of all states;
• work in the country;
• buy real estate;
• to invite relatives and friends;
• leave the state and return without worrying about visas.

On the other hand, possession of a green card also imposes responsibilities:

• working for the period of time specified in the labor contract;
• paying taxes and filing annual returns.

The role of a temporary US residence permit is performed by H1-B (employment), K (marriage), L1 (businessman visa), EB-5 (investment).
