You two seem to be the brightest ones on this blog. Can you explain this to me?

Is there a difference in a visa and a greencard. The visa is to enter our country (US), but can they have you apply for a green card while you are in their country, and is that greencard a permanent greencard or a temporary one? If it is temporary, when can they apply for the permanent. He had a lawyer when she got there, and they had him do the paper work and she filed them when she came back to the states. U.S.

What is "conditinal-permanent residence status." I have told someone that her husband may not come to her if he gets his permanent greencard, from how I understand the process is from reading this blog. I have recommend this blog to her. I think she has been used before he gets here.
