    That’s very different than automatically assuming you aren’t a citizen of the UK and asking if you have permanent residence.

      That’s actually exactly what asking me if I need a visa to work in the UK means.

        No, that leaves open the possibility that you are a UK citizen. “Do you have green card?” skips over asking if you are a citizen and goes straight to “Are you at least a permanent resident?”

        Put another way, if the candidate answers “No.” to “Do you have a green card?” That doesn’t tell the recruiter if they need a visa or if they have the right to work in the US without a presumption that they aren’t a citizen.

          So you’re saying it would be perfectly acceptable and neither you nor OP would complain if the question was: “Do you need a greencard?”

            That’s kind of a weird question, too. Like, what does it mean if you say no? That you are a citizen or that you don’t intend to become a permanent resident?

            “Do you need a visa?” Or “Are you legally allowed to work in the United States?” would be the way it would generally be asked and isn’t a problem. See all the comments that replied to the person saying it wasn’t a big deal.
