Green card "priority date": because the US immigration law has a quota limit on the number of immigrants from various countries to the United States every year, foreigners who apply for immigration must wait in line for the quota if the number of immigrants in their own country reaches a certain number. This is the green card shift.
A green card is a permanent residence permit for foreign citizens. Holding a green card means that the cardholder has the permanent residence in the issuing country, and at the same time, holding a green card can exempt entry visas for a certain period of time.
The word green card originated in the United States, because the earliest permanent residence permit in the United States was a green card. With the change of design, 20 versions were updated, but the name of green card was retained. In May of 20 10, the green card turned green again, and a yellow-green pattern was added to the previous white background.
Since 2004, People's Republic of China (PRC), Chinese mainland has issued permanent residence permits, also known as China green cards, to foreigners who meet the application conditions in China.
