A Green Card and U.S. citizenship are not the same thing.
A Green Card generally means you are a **lawful permanent resident of the United States**. U.S. citizenship is a separate status that comes with different rights and responsibilities.
A lawful permanent resident may be able to apply for U.S. citizenship through **naturalization** after meeting the applicable requirements. Becoming a U.S. citizen is a separate process from obtaining a Green Card.
Understanding the difference can help you better understand your immigration journey.
Aspire Immigration Services provides assistance with Green Card applications, U.S. citizenship applications, and other immigration services.
