Who is eligible for the EB-5 Visa?
This type of Employment Visa is available to foreign nationals who will improve the U.S. economy by investing half a million dollars to 1 million in unemployed areas.
Also, they must create at least 10 job positions in a U.S company where the employments are legal residents.
The most common method of obtaining a green card is to receive it through a family member.
You can request a green card if you’re a close relative of a U.S. resident or a green card holder.
This is also one of the fastest forms of obtaining permanent legal residency.
What is the new law for Green Card holders?
If you have a green card and do not report yourself on your tax return as an immigrant or are out of the country for an extended period of time, the new laws mean that your citizenship application or green card might be declined and you may even be deported.
What are the greatest benefits of a Green Card?
As a Green Card holder you are able to:
sponsor your spouse or unmarried children in order to come to the US,
receive Medicare and social security benefits,
be eligible for federal benefits,
travel outside the United States and serve in the US military.
The documents that you need to obtain a marriage-based Green card are:
USCIS Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative),
USCIS Form G-325A (Biographic Information),
USCIS Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence),
USCIS Form I-693 (Medical Examination Results),
USCIS Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support),
USCIS Form I-765 (Permission for Work Authorization) which is optional and
USCIS Form I-131 (Request for Travel Documents) also optional.
Who can Apply for Asylum?
If you are at a port of entry or in the United States, you may request asylum.
Regardless of your immigration status, and within one year of your arrival in the United States, you can apply for asylum.
First, you must check if you are eligible for the Green Card and then choose which process to use (consular processing or adjustment of status).
You need to go with consular processing if you aren’t physically in the United States, if you are physically present in the U.S. on a valid Visa then you must choose the adjustment of status process.
After that is settled, you need to file the I-485 Form, pay all the fees if needed and once your application gets approved by the USCIS then, you need to gather all the right documentation and other Forms and attend the interview if required!
Can a green card holder sponsor a friend?
Unfortunately, only family members can sign the petition for the immigrant Visa or Green Card.
What you can do, though is file an I-864 (Affidavit of Support) form, which is a way to fund your friend’s immigration petition.
