[excerpt]
A legal permanent resident (LPR) or �green card� recipient is defined by
immigration law as a person who has been granted lawful permanent
residence in the United States. Permanent resident status confers certain
rights and responsibilities. For example, LPRs may live and work
permanently anywhere in the United States, own property, and attend public
schools, colleges, and universities. They may also join certain branches
of the Armed Forces, and apply to become U.S. citizens if they meet
certain eligibility requirements. This Office of Immigration Statistics
Annual Flow Report presents information obtained from applications for LPR
status on the number and characteristics of persons who became LPRs in the
United States during 2006.
In 2006, a total of 1,266,264 persons became LPRs of the United States
(seeTable 1 and Figure 1).The majority of new LPRs (65 percent) already
lived in the United States when they were granted lawful permanent
resi-dence. Nearly two-thirds (63 percent) were granted permanent
residence based on a family relationship with a U.S. citizen or legal
permanent resident of the United States. The leading countries of birth of
new LPRs were Mexico (14 percent), China (7 percent) and the Philippines
(6 percent).
AND MUCH MORE....
