During this time of year, as American families prepare to gather around the Thanksgiving table, many immigrants dream of celebrating these festivities with their loved ones without worrying about their immigration status. Let’s talk about the key that opens the door to countless opportunities and, more importantly, to the peace of mind of having your family united on American soil.

The Impact of the Green Card on Family Life

The numbers speak for themselves about the importance of family unity in the U.S. immigration system. According to recent data from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), more than 750,000 people obtained their legal permanent residence in the United States in 2023, with approximately 45% of these granted through family petitions. This figure reflects the immigration system’s commitment to keeping families together.

Obtaining a Green Card significantly transforms the lives of immigrant families. Recipients not only gain the ability to live and work permanently in the United States but also enjoy the freedom to travel in and out of the country without restrictions. Additionally, they gain access to important social and educational benefits while enjoying full protection under U.S. laws. Perhaps most significantly, the Green Card opens the path to citizenship after 5 years of residence.

The Value of Family Unity and Proven Success

Recent studies consistently demonstrate the positive impact of permanent residency on family life. According to the “New American Economy” report (2023), 82% of permanent residents report a significant improvement in their family quality of life. The Migration Policy Institute (MPI), in its study “Family Unity and Immigration”, indicates that immigrant families with stable legal status are 65% more likely to achieve sustainable economic stability compared to those in irregular situations.

The Urban Institute’s Immigration Research, in their report “Children of Immigrants: Education and Success,” documents that 78% of children in families with Green Cards show better academic performance than their counterparts in uncertain immigration situations. Furthermore, the American Immigration Council in its annual report “The Economic Value of Family Unity” highlights that legally united immigrant families significantly contribute to the local economy, with an entrepreneurship rate 40% higher than the national average.

Thanksgiving: A Reminder of What Truly Matters

The Thanksgiving season provides us with a special moment to reflect on the true meaning of family unity. For immigrant families who have obtained their Green Card, this holiday takes on an even deeper significance. The Pew Research Center’s latest study on “Holiday Celebrations and Immigration Status” highlights that 89% of immigrant families consider Thanksgiving as a crucial moment for strengthening family bonds and celebrating their achievement of stability in the United States.
