The United States needs millions of workers and grants up to 140,000 Employment-Based US immigration visas and Green Cards each year to new Lawful Permanent Residents. An additional 55,000 Diversity Immigration Visas and Green Cards are issued annually through the DV-Lottery Program. Green Card holders enjoy many great benefits, such as living in the USA long-term, getting access to educational programs, being able to legally work in America, having an opportunity to start a business or buy a home, sponsoring family for a US visa, and the option to apply for American citizenship.
