Who issues the 10-year green card?

To begin with, it is important to understand that obtaining a green card – the permanent resident card in the United States – is a legal process regulated by government agencies. In the case of the 10-year green card, it represents the permanent residency (valid for 10 years) of an immigrant who has already attained permanent resident status.

The agency responsible for issuing the 10-year green card is the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This department, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, evaluates, approves, and issues the official documents that prove permanent resident status in the U.S.

Even when it involves family visa processes, such as the IR1, the USCIS is responsible for completing this final step of issuing the card. It is essential that interested parties strictly follow the immigration laws established by the U.S. government and seek information only through official sources or recognized specialized companies to avoid fraud or scams, especially those that promise unrealistic results through marketing campaigns.

Staying well informed and consulting reliable sources is the safest way to navigate any immigration process with peace of mind.
