The Australian actress celebrated her 42nd birthday on Wednesday by uploading a photo of her new residency card, also known as a Green Card, to her Instagram Stories.

"Wow. The best birthday present just arrived!" she captioned the snap.

Having a Green Card allows a person to permanently live and work in America.

Though Rebel was born and raised in Sydney, she relocated to America in 2011 to pursue a Hollywood career, and soon landed a memorable role in the hit comedy Bridesmaids.

The Pitch Perfect star's upcoming projects include comedy Senior Year and drama The Almond and the Seahorse.
