Green card or permanent residence?
My friend and her family wish to relocate from their country to the USA because both of her parents wish to retire here, in the US.One family friend put forward the idea that since they are wealthy in their country (I believe that they would be consider wealthy here in the US as well) that the family would have an easier time getting a permanent residence card or green card to live here in the US. Is this true?

- Thatz absurd, Its not ture. US wont grant greencard just bcoz they r rich. PS: Greencard and Permanent resident card both r one and the same.
- No, a shoe shine boy from Guatemala, with a US Citizen mother, has a better chance than a rich person from the UK. If they can scrape up $1 million and wish to open a business in the USA that will employ 10 American Citizens they might qualify for an investor's visa.
- They can go through business investment immigration, which requires investing a couple of million dollars to start a business in US, creating US jobs.
- They need a strong reason to be here. If is retirement they can be here as tourist (limited time)
