Obtaining a green card is an important step in the process of naturalizing as a United States Citizen. The Green Card application can be complex, confusing, and lengthy. That process is further compounded by the limited number of green cards issued by the U.S. government each year. Our goal is to that ensure your immigration experience is a positive one that results in your success.
A United States Permanent Resident Card is the formal name for what is commonly referred to as a green card. Green cards give permanent resident status for 10 years and allow the holder of the permanent resident card to live and work within the U.S. without fearing removal or deportation during that period of time. Additionally, green card holders can also travel freely in and out of the United States for specified amounts of time.
Individuals that want to become permanent residents through their qualified family member, employment, or a special category such as asylum or refugee status, will generally be classified in categories based on a preference system. An immediate relative of a United States citizen is given the highest immigration priority. Immediate relatives include spouses, parents, and unmarried children.
Congress has allotted a set number of visas that can be used each year for each category of immigrants that are not considered immediate relatives.
