I need some help here with "colours". In 1991 while studying in the USA
(H-1 visa) at INS I was granted a Social Security Card (with permision to
work) a blue one with two nice pillars. Is that a greencard? Do I have any
privileges and/or rights? I am living in my native country - Lithuania
today and looking for the way of relocation to USA. Can anybody help me
with these answers.
Thank you in advance.

The thing you have is a social security card, had you been in this country
long enough and had been a citizen you might have been able to draw
benefits in the future. So, unless you come back and become a citizen that
money is forever lost to you.. As a tax paying citizen of the United
States, I thank you for your donation
to "our" retirement fund.

A Social Security number is not a green card. A Social Security number
is NOT an employment authorization.

*sighs* My fiancee wants hers to be green. She says she will throw a
fit if hers isn't. After all, they are called "green" cards. Women
always have to be so difficult.

Years ago, the alien registration card /PR status is in Green colour.

However, it has changed from @@@ to white roght noe, I think, or pink!

That SS card does not grant you any right to work legally.
