      Isn't that the US Border Crossing ID card?

        Many immigrants refer to the green card as a MICA, but noone knows the origin of the acronym nor what it stands for. I was curious to know if anyone knew.

          Tha piece of plastic used to laminate documents is called "mica" in Spanish. Hispanic people (at least Mexicans) started calling the credit-card-size laminated immigration documents "mica" as opposed to stamped authorizations on book-style passports. That's why many people still refer to documents like I-551, BBC (Border Crossing Cards, etc.) as "micas"...

            So mica in spanish stands for plastic laminate? Sorry, just clarifying. It doesn't translate in the spanish/english dictionary. Thank you for your responses.

              Try to find the word "enmicar" which means to laminate. You might not find some words in pocket dictionaries.

                Many immigrants call their green card a MICA, but no one understands where the acronym comes from or what it stands for. I was wondered if anyone had any information.

                        US Border Crossing Identification Card and Visa issued by the Mexican consulates of the United States through the Department of State You can think of it like this: (Mica, which means "card") Travelers can enter the United States for up to 72 hours within 25 miles of the US-Mexico border without obtaining an INS document by using this card, which appears to be a visa. The I-586, Nonresident Alien Border Crossing Card, is replaced by the Mica. bubble shooter
