The United States immigration laws confer certain rights and privileges to a person who has been granted Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status by the government. These individuals, commonly known as green card holders, are authorized to work and live in the United States indefinitely. Legal residents are also allowed to return to the United States after international travel. Nonresidents, on the other hand, are considered applicants for admission and must establish that they are admissible to the United States in order to enter.
