When discussing frequently asked questions about immigration and green cards we look for the first thing that comes to mind. How do I become a green card holder? This is very simple you have to have family member who is a US Citizen or a permanent resident who can apply for you. You can also have an employer apply for your green card if you are a skilled worker. Eligibility and stages: The next thing of course in this long and stressful process is eligibility which is a three step process that you must be approved at each in order to get a green card or visa. The three steps are as follows: Step 1 A petition through the USCIS for Immigration and green card to get your visa should be made by a relative or employer or whoever can do this according to embassy norms. if you are not a native English speaker, it is reccommended to use a translation tool so that your application would look formal and respectable. Step 2 * You must get a State Department issued Visa Number. There are only a set number of applications accepted for visa available per year. * The application may be approved but if you do not have the visa number stating that you are approved you can not come over. * The Department of Labor will post the priority numbers once they become available you can find them on the visa Bulletin on their homepage. Step 3 If you have made to the US already and you wish to after 5 years or 3 years as prescribed for your green card category you can apply for your Adjusted Permanent Status. Identifying the different immigration and green card petitions for eligibility: Immediate Relative Petition-The people filling out the petition have to be a US Citizen that is a spouse, parent or child of the person they are applying for. Preference Petition- The filer must be a US Citizen on behalf of a son or daughter, the filer can also be an employer on behalf of an employee. For those of you who are looking for a winning job in the US finding a winning Employer would be a good start. Getting help getting to the US is important. You have to have a US citizen to file for a petition it can not be filed by you. What if I loose my visa? You must call and report it to the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration to let them know. They will tell you what to do from there. |
