US permanent residents, often called "lawful permanent residents" or "green card holders," have the privilege of permanently residing and working in the United States.

• While they share many benefits with US citizens, such as employment flexibility and federal benefits, some distinctions exist.
• Unlike non-immigrants, permanent residents do not need a visa for re-entry after international travel.
• Additionally, they can apply for various federal research funding opportunities.
