The first "green cards" were white and appeared as a result of the Alien Registration Act (Alien Registration Act, AR-3), 1940. Initially adopted as means of national defense, the Act required the registration of all foreigners. They could do it in post offices, and their registration forms were sent to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Foreigners' Registration Act did not share the aliens to legal and illegal. All were legal, and all were registered. After processing the received forms, INS sent a receipt to immigrants, and in essence, this was the first "green card" (although they had a completely different color).
After the Second World War, immigration again resumed on a large scale, but the registration of foreigners are no longer made at post offices, and became part of the normal procedures for issuance of immigration documents. This allowed the INS to get rid of a huge number of forms and work with immigrants with greater efficiency. It was then and there the real "green cards". There are different types of immigrants - workers, students, teachers, and others, and each had its registration document (permit) from fixing the immigration status. Those immigrants who are fortunate enough to get a permit for permanent residence in the United States, received the green receipt, or in other words, the green card.
With the coming into force in 1950, the Law "On internal security," the new rules replace the AR-3 Form I-151 For a color form I-151 dubbed the green card (green card) because the official name - Alien Registration Receipt Card Form I-151 - it was too cumbersome. It was the first and the last green registration card, which existed from 1946 to 1964.
