Green card (Permanent Resident Card)其實系一種比外國公民既永久居住許可証。持有綠卡意味着持卡人擁有在簽发國的永久居留權,同時,持有綠卡可以在一定時問内免去入境簽証。

-起源於美國
-最早美國的永久居留許可証是一張綠色的卡片 (名字起源)
-也叫I-551
-記錄了持卡人的照片、指纹、姓名等資料

-隨著設計的變化已經更新了19個版本-現在它已經是一張白色有黃綠色花紋的塑料卡片, 但是綠卡這個名稱一直被保留了下來.-其他國家沿用美國的說法, 也會將本國的永久居留許可證俗稱為綠卡.各國的綠卡: -美國, 中華人民共和國 (中國綠卡), 德國, 中華民國 (外僑居留證)

History of the Green Card Lottery Program
The diversity visa lottery to win green cards was a program by which a category of immigrants from underrepresented countries and those adversely effected by the Immigration and Nationality Act Amendments of 1965 (P.L. 89-236) were to receive a special immigration benefit. In 1986 the United States Congress attempted to assist recently disadvantaged immigrants with an emphasis on persons from the Irish Isles obtain some special way to immigrate and receive a green card to the United States. The sponsors of the Legislation, (among them prominent Irish-American members of Congress) devised a lottery program that would grant green cards to persons from otherwise underrepresented countries. Since that initial program, changes have been made. The congressionally mandated Diversity Immigrant Visa Program is also known as the Diversity Lottery program or the Green Card Lottery. It is administered on an annual basis by the U.S. Department of State and conducted under the terms of Section 203© of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Section 131 of the Immigration Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-649) amended INA 203 to provide for a new class of immigrants known as “diversity immigrants” (DV immigrants).
