I’m planning a short stay in the U.S., but I’ve been told I need a green card — what’s the difference between a green card and a visa?
If there’s no issue staying in the U.S. on a visa without a green card, is it just that a green card comes with certain benefits?

A green card is the right for a foreign national to reside permanently. A visa is a kind of travel pass that permits entry to the U.S. and allows you to stay for a designated period. So once that period ends, you must either extend your status or leave the country. A green card, by contrast, has no separate stay-period limit, and comes with work authorization and other rights that allow for a much freer life.
