A Green Card is a permanent visa issued to a qualified applicant and his/her entire family.

A Green Card is useful because it allows the holder to enter the country anytime; seek work with anyone for anytime without needing a sponsor; do business if he wants; the children can attend public schools free of cost; new mothers get maternity benefits and access to the best of medical facilities for free.

A Green Card is normally issued by developed countries like the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand because they want to attract skills or populate areas they naturally can't.

Holding a Green Card means that the person is a Permanent Resident, not a citizen yet. Green Card holders become eligible to apply for citizenship normally after a period of stay, say 3-5 years. With the Government of India bringing out the Dual Citizenship, one can now hold the citizenship of 2 countries.

A Green Card is a good investment for anyone. It is as good as gold. Actually even better!

A Green Card investment for your family could cost between Rs.1.0 to Rs.2.0 lacs.

Consider this: How much gold can Rs.2.0 lacs buy? It buys a mere 15 grams or so. At the end of 5 years it may be worth Rs.3.0 lacs and no more.

Rs.2.0 lacs cannot buy any real estate.

A Fixed Deposit gives no more than 10% and that gets eaten away by the 10% inflation.

Investing in stocks or mutual funds is too risky and even if it gave a 100% return, you will have Rs.2.0 lacs in 5 years and owe 30% in taxes.

A Rs.2.0 lacs investment in a Green Card will buy you a permanent visa not only for you but also your entire family - for a lifetime. Your next generation will also be able to use the benefits of the visa.

So apply for this valuable asset while you are eligible.

• Think about it
• You may not qualify for a temporary visit visa but may qualify for a permanent visa! Permanent visas are usually points based and have defined eligibility criteria, temporary visas are based on the discretion of the consulate officer.
• In most cases, there is no interview. If you are eligible, you file your documents and receive your visa a few months later.
• Immigration laws keeps changing each year. Apply when you are eligible or else the laws change and you wont be eligible when you want to apply.
• Isn't it fortunate that the best and richest English speaking countries in the world offer an immigration program? India, despite our growth rate, will not have the quality of life they currently have - at least not in our lifetime.
• Immigrating to a country allows you to stay long enough to experience overseas life to the fullest. Staying overseas develops you as a person, your career,business and your family like no other experience can.
• You will never regret having invested in a Green Card. You will never regret having the freedom & flexibility to travel & work - anytime you want - in the US,UK,Australia, Canada or New Zealand without the need to apply for a visa.
• Investing in a Green Card is cheaper than investing in a local club membership or a timeshare program. With a green card, you and your family get a membership to the best countries in the world.
