What benefits do asylum seekers get in the US?
There are a few benefits that asylum seekers have in the US.
Asylum seekers are eligible for Social Security Payments, Medicaid, and Food Stamps for the first seven years after being granted asylum, and a number of other benefits and services.
Eligibility can extend beyond the first seven years for many of these programs.
PERM or Program Electronic Review Management, is a very important part of the employment-based Green Card process (especially for EB-2, EB-3 applicants).
PERM is filed not with the USCIS but with DOL (Department of Labor), where they test the labor market to see if there are any U.S. employers willing to sponsor foreign nationals.
Which continents have the highest Green Card quotas?
The two continents with the highest Green Card quotas are Europe and Africa. Both of these continents get about 20,000 Green Cards each.
Is it possible to remain a permanent resident in the US?
Unless you apply for and complete the naturalization process, lose your status or abandon it, then once you become a Green Card holder you hold the permanent resident status forever.
Questions asked in the Employment-based Green Card Interview!
In an Employment-Based Green Card Interview you will be asked multiple questions regarding your background.
In more detail you will be asked about who you are going to work with, your educational background, the salary and duties of your job which need to be written in the I-140 petition and your biographical information provided by you in your application.
Benefits of a Green Card for family members!
It gives you the opportunity to sponsor your immediate family members and give them the right to stay with you in the United States if you hold a US Green Card.
Remember, “Immediate family members” are identified as unmarried children under 21 years of age, parents, and spouses by US Immigration.
So if you want to sponsor an extended family member then, that is also possible!
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.
What age can you apply for green card?
There are many different Green Cards, therefore the age eligibility is also different.
For unmarried adults, who have at least one US citizen parent, they must be 21 years of age or older.
F2A applicants (spouses and unmarried children of a green card holder), the children must be younger than the age of 21 and F2B applicants (unmarried children of a green card holder), should be older than the age of 21.
