Foreign Citizen: Can I Donate Money to a Political Campaign?
In the height of the political season, we have been asked numerous times by foreign citizens, "Can I contribute money to a political candidate's campaign?" The short answer, is 'Yes, you can, but only if you are a legal permanent resident (green card holder).'

We, at the Capitol Immigration Law Group, are committed to being environmentally friendly office and are working on eliminating unnecessary paper from our practice. Please read the full article to learn what we do to be a "green" law office.
