Green
Cards
There are several types of green cards,
which allow people to come into the United States
to live permanently, mostly for people sponsored
by their companies, people who are related to
someone in the United States, or for those seeking
political asylum.

Political Asylum
INS grants aliens political asylum in the United States based upon a well-founded
fear of persecution in ones home country due to
ones race, religion, nationality, political opinion
or membership in a particular social group. The
fact that one is suffering economically is not
considered a reason for asylum. A person must
request political asylum within one year of arriving
in the United States, unless exceptional circumstances
can be shown. The asylum officer or Immigration
Judge will determine if the applicant's subjective
fear of returning to his or her home country is
supported by objective evidence and whether the
applicant is credible. If political asylum is
granted, the applicant is allowed to remain in
the United States and eventually obtain permanent
residence.

Deportation
The formal removal of an alien from the United
States when the alien has been found removable
for violating the immigration laws. Deportation is ordered by an immigration judge without any
punishment being imposed or contemplated. After
April 1, 1997, aliens in and admitted to the United
States may be subject to removal based on deportability.
