A young woman has shared one of her happiest moments with her friends and followers after receiving legal documents legitimising her stay in the United States of America.

This means she will be able to live and work in the United States even though she may not be a citizen of the country.
The United States Permanent Resident Card, commonly known as the Green Card, is the official document that allows non-citizens to live and work permanently in America.
Acquiring a Green Card is a long, complex, and often frustrating process for many African migrants living in the United States. The process involves multiple stages of interviews, extensive documentation and long waiting periods.
Factors such as limited country caps, legal costs and immigration policies make the process even more difficult.
Because of the challenges when someone obtains a Green card within a short period, special programmes, family sponsorship or employment opportunities, they are considered very fortunate.

The young lady’s success has stirred conversation about the difficulties involved in obtaining documentation, especially for Africans seeking residence in America and other parts of Europe.
Providing details on how she was able to obtain her documents within a short period of stay, she explained that the entire process was handled by an immigration lawyer, and it cost her $11,000 in total.
